TONIGHT we welcome November’s full moon 🌕 Traditionally named the Beaver moon, as it is at this time of year when beavers begin to take shelter and cosy-up in their lodges for the rest and hibernation of winter.

Each full moon acts as a radiant spotlight, shining down on things that are ready to come to our attention. And so, right now, the energy of the earth is gathering in, quietening down, simplifying, cocooning, retreating, nesting and resting 😴

And even though this happens without fail, each year, the prevailing grind culture of the human world carries on going, growing, rushing, racing. Rest is not valued in our culture.
But our plant and animal friends don't disregard the winter. They prepare. They adapt. They perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through.

Sometimes it’s challenging to go against the grain and succumb to the energy of the seasons. Perhaps your responsibilities and the pace of your life make it seem like an impossible luxury to slow down, simplify and rest. Perhaps being slow is outside of your comfort zone. Perhaps you’re unsure of how to find rest or feel at home within yourself. Maybe there is even some guilt around allowing yourself to put everything down and just be. Never taking a moment to come back to stillness, to breath, to nature, to self. To home.

See your yoga practice as an opportunity to allow the mind to take refuge within the body, the body to inhabit your movements and shapes, all the while connected with the cyclical phases of your breath. Finding a cosy sense of security and acceptance within this bespoke practice that you build for yourself. Fostering that sense of home and belonging whatever season or phase of life you are in.

Tune into this energy of mother earth, beckoning you to embrace winter, to take refuge, to shed light on what is is that allows you to rest and feel at home. Take a moment to consider what that is for you.

"Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat to anytime" 🧘🏽‍♀️ Herman Hesse

Yoga philosophy associates each season with a natural element, and you also have this microcosm of elements within you. Autumn is a precious and reflective time, and so is coupled with the element of metal.

Metal and Autumn are all about transformation and change. Metal is the most malleable substance- it can be changed and transformed many times without losing integrity or flexibility.

Change is the only constant thing we can expect in life. Just as the trees release their leaves in Autumn so that they may grow new buds in Spring, we also go through changes every moment of every day. We have seasons when we flourish, and seasons when our leaves fall from us, revealing our bare branches.

We do not always welcome change, sometimes we resist it or put it off- perhaps uncertainty or the unknown is even feared. But the more strong yet flexible and adaptable we can be, and even value times of change and transformation, the more integrity we have to discover what’s most precious and worthwhile to us. So the physical flexibility we seek to gain on our yoga mats, is simply a metaphor for the mental flexibility needed to adapt to change.

And similar to the valuable metals found deep within the dark earth like buried treasure, we can also discover our own self worth and value.

Within your yoga practice, see if you can equally prioritise both strength and flexibility. Practice honesty and self reflection around what feels most precious and valuable to you, so you can bespoke your practice with integrity. Foster the strength to let go of any ideas or postures that do not feel right for you, or that you simply do out of habit, these are of no value. Retain your sense of self worth while accepting that you and your practice are subject to change.

With nature as your wise guru, take a moment to consider what your core values are, as if unearthing what is most precious, integral and worthwhile to you. And seeing if you can apply these to your yoga practice and daily life, in what you prioritise and how you navigate change.

"Hunter moon, full moon, feed me with your magic.
Cold moon, black moon, tell, is your life dramatic?
Glow moon, shine moon. Bathe me in your light.
How moon, now moon, are you such a sight?
Rise moon, fall moon, forever be the same.
Come moon, go moon, I call you by your name." - Unknown poet

TONIGHT we welcome October’s full Moon 🌕 traditionally named Hunter’s moon as the resulting light makes it the best time for animals and humans alike to forage, hunt and stock up on food in preparation for the long winter ahead.

The moon is a reminder that we are still whole no matter what phase we are in, and to celebrate our fullness. Our dark side as much as our light 🌕 The full moon invites you to reflect and learn as the sun illuminates the entire moon’s surface, acting as a metaphorical spotlight, shining down on things that are ready to come to your attention. When you attune to the Moon, you embody its qualities of fluidity and renewal, fullness, letting go and darkness, aligning you more deeply with the inherent rhythms of nature.

Tonight, the full moon invites you to harness your inner hunter and forage within yourself for what nourishes and satiates your mind, body and soul, both on and off your yoga mat 🌕To seek out and store up any beliefs, habits and relationships that feed you in a positive and healthy way, and to pursue your hopes, dreams and wildest desires, all under this natural beacon through the ever-darkening autumn skies.

The Hunter's moon will shine down on a world that is fully prepared for darkness rest and regeneration 🌕 Can you hear that call to slow down and reflect? 🌕 What are you foraging for? 🌕 What will sustain and satiate you and keep you full, mentally, physically and emotionally, even during the bleak, scarce or dark phases of life?
