Hello Divine Starlights,
I’m delighted to be heading back to the mountains for the upcoming Big Bear Yoga Festival, October 2-4, where I’ll be sharing several offerings on Saturday that bring together movement, cyclical wisdom, sacred space, and energetic practice.
The weekend arrives at a potent celestial threshold. Venus stations retrograde on October 3, inviting us into a period of reflection around relationship, reciprocity, desire, values, pleasure, and what we are being asked to reconsider or reclaim. We’ll also gather beneath a third-quarter Moon in Cancer, a lunar phase that invites integration, release, and discernment around what we continue to carry with us.
It feels like a beautiful celestial landscape for 13 Moons, my Yin and Hatha Yoga Flow rooted in lunar wisdom and our relationship with cyclical living. Through movement and stillness, we’ll explore the rhythms of emergence, fullness, release, rest, and renewal, allowing the body to become a place where we can listen to and experience these cycles rather than simply observe them. 13 Moons moves between the grounding stillness of Yin and the expressive movement of Hatha, inviting us to listen to what the body and the Moon are asking us to notice in this particular moment of the cycle.
Later in the afternoon, I'll facilitate Sitting by the Fire: Asana to Sacred Space, a workshop especially for yoga teachers exploring how we move beyond guiding postures into consciously tending the spaces we create for others. This will be outdoors in the Picnic area at 5 pm.
And when I’m not teaching, you’ll find me in the festival marketplace alongside my partner, Thot Creations. I’ll be offering mini sessions at our booth, so you can receive some individualized energetic tending between classes, workshops, and time enjoying the mountains. You can pre-book with this link.
There is something special about gathering in the mountains at a moment when both the celestial landscape and the changing season are inviting us inward. I’m looking forward to sharing these different expressions of my practice with the Big Bear Yoga Festival community.
If you’ll be there, come practice with me, join one of my workshops, or stop by our booth and say hello.
