A Yin Yoga Class for the Full Wolf Moon in Cancer

This yoga class for the Full Moon in Cancer will help you release tension, find peace, and feel at home in your body.

On Saturday, January 3, 2026, the full Moon in Cancer will illuminate our darkened winter sky. For those who listen to its subtle energies, the full moon offers insights into personal development and spiritual maturation. Every full moon is different due to the influence of the sign it resides in that day. Cancer, a cardinal Water sign, invites us to prioritize that which helps to nourish and protect us.

Full Moon in Cancer Meaning

Cancer is deeply connected to themes of home, family, and emotional well-being. Under this influence, you may feel a heightened sensitivity or a strong pull to prioritize self-care and comfort. For the full moon in Cancer, it might be nice to think about what kind of care or nourishment you need. What practices or actions can you take to help you feel more comfortable and safe in your day-to-day life? Are there any mindfulness practices you can use to help you feel more at home within yourself? Give it a try this month! This is a time to slow down and honor your emotional needs. Give yourself permission to embrace rest and focus on practices that nourish your body, mind, and soul.

Full Moon in Cancer Yoga Ritual

To deepen your connection with the Cancer full moon’s energy, I’ve created a 30-minute yin yoga class designed to help you ground yourself and feel more at home within your body.

Yin yoga is the perfect complement to Cancer’s nurturing vibes. This slow, meditative practice encourages you to release tension and tune into your inner world. Forward folds and hip openers featured in this sequence are especially helpful for calming the nervous system, relieving stress, and creating a sense of emotional ease.

You’ll only need a block and a bolster (or pillows) for this class. As you move through the poses, allow yourself to embrace stillness and listen to your body. This is a time to let go of perfection and simply honor where you are.
