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

On Friday, January 6, 2023, 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. 

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 30-minute yin yoga sequence for the Cancer moon will help you settle into your body and feel more at home wherever you are. Forward folds help to soothe your nervous system, while gentle hip openers allow you to release excess tension and anxiety. For this class, you will need one block and one bolster.

For my practice, I’m using my favorite sustainable yoga rug from Öko Living. These mats are ethically hand-loomed out of organic cotton and dyed with medicinal herbs. Plus, they come from a small women-owned business! If you’d like to grab your own yoga rug, use my code THELOCALMYSTIC to save $10 on your order.
