Moon Journey Yin
A ritual infused yin yoga journey to embrace cyclical living
All of life moves through cycles, rhythms and orbits. We humans are no different. There is an elegant wisdom in this dance between abundance and rest.
Modern life has become deeply disconnected from some of the natural rhythms both around us and within us. It is not without consequence on our biology, energy and the deeper experience of being here.
Healthy living is always a balance of yin and yang. Listening only to the latter leaves us feeling burnout, empty and brittle. It leaves us stuck; unable to honor our growth, our grief and disconnected from self.
We all need the deep nourishing fill of yin.
The soft flow of presence, unrushed by outcome.
The guileless surrender to breath and feeling.
Cyclical Living & Yintrospection
Moon Journey Yin is a 4-week container for you to regularly meet yourself in softness with guidance.
The course cycles with the 4 moon phases or your personal moon cycle, as both follow a similar path. You will learn about cyclical living, how each phase affects your energy and how to create more alignment with each phase.
This will let you anticipate when you might feel tired, anxious or overwhelmed. But also when you will be at your best so that you can celebrate, enjoy and revel in when you are feeling great. Together with an easy to use self-care planner this will help you manage you expectations and intentions, week by week, so you know exactly how to fill your own cup all along the way.
Each week offers a guided yin yoga and breath practice chosen for their energetic effect relative to the phase you are in. All the sessions will help you to recalibrate your nervous system and create more spaciousness in your thinking and responses. This awareness is the first step to shift any patterns that leave you feeling like you are swimming upstream, exhausted and drained.
As life is not restricted to the time we spend on our mat, the course also contains simple rituals to help you add conscious action to your intentions. This is the essence of embodiment; to really feel, experience and show up for ourselves beyond fleeting thought. It is the day to day action that really cements growth and healing into our bodies and minds.
This course is for you if:
- You feel burnt out and want to slow down to heal your nervous system
- You are working through grief and want to create a conscious space to honor your journey
- You feel disconnected from your femininity and yearn for a more embodied daily experience
- You struggle with the fluctuating energy & emotions of your moon cycle and want to create a more harmonious relationship with your body and heart.
- You are healing from Long-Covid 19 and need slower practice to get back into your body, rest your mind & reclaim your breath
Why you should be embracing Cyclical Living
Cyclical living is not new. Folk wisdom of aligning you life to the cycles of nature have been around for centuries and practiced the world over. In the last century we have just become disconnected from this ageless wisdom that honors our biology. We do not have to chose between modern living and folk wisdom though. Through reflection, direct experience and learning we can learn create exactly what we need and don’t need to support our own well-being.

Not sure yet this is this is for you?
The physical practices I am sharing is Yin Yoga because it is accessible and very healing for the nervous system. The sessions serve a very specific purpose, which is to find deep rest. Doing the designated session for a particular phase only once is enough. You are welcome to do more yin session or supplement with any other activities that fit your lifestyle.
It really is up to you. The more you put in, the more you will get out of it. Each phase or week starts with an introduction to the significance and energetics of that particular phase. Then you have one yin practice (60 min) & breath practice (10 min). You can practice these as many times as you like, but is recommended to do each practice at least once.
The course also includes additional materials for you to bring more ritual into your life. Some are shorter and some are longer. It is up to you to decide what inspires you and what you have time for. Rather than creating a strict schedule of things to do, the aim is to create free space and be mindful about how to nurture your nervous system and sense of self.
This is course is not intended to be finished in a specific time frame, but rather it is encouraged that you cycle through it several time to ground an embodied insight of cyclical living. Shifting habit and perspective takes time and integration happens little by little. This is why healing is spiralic, we revisit the same feelings, thoughts and grooves over and over again, each time with greater awareness and the ability to change how we react.
As the course works on a cyclical basis, you can jump in at any time. The yin and nidra sessions are clearly assigned to a specific phase. And the ritual and ceremonial aspects are more flexible so you can curate your own experience. Begin by working through the introduction section to help you decide where you should start and then
No, this course is for anyone, no matter how you identify. Anyone who wishes to explore a more cyclical Yin (feminine) approach to nurturing personal energy, creativity and connection is welcome here. You have the option of following the lunar cycles OR your personal moon cycle to work through the material. I chose to start the course on the lunar cycle to make it more accessible for us all to join ceremony and journey together. At the end of the course there is a section that explores how to map the lunar cycle insights onto your own moon cycle once the first lunar cycle is complete. You may chose to skip this part if it is not relevant or of interest to you.
No, this course is a holistic approach to help cultivate mindfulness and awareness. In that way it teaches supportive skills that will complement any other programs that you are on. The practice of yin yoga, breath technique, yoga nidra, self-initiated ritual and communal ceremonial space can help to cultivate greater self-awareness and promote nervous system regulation.
As this is a digital product where you get full access to the material upon purchases, there is no refund unfortunately. You are however welcome to get in touch if you have anything you would like to discuss and I will be happy to see how to accommodate you.
My personal journey to cyclical living
I have always been an avid practitioner of yoga in all its forms. Since 2020 my life changed drastically not only due to the sudden limitations pandemic, but also because of important relationships that ended and changed, as well as a pregnancy loss on top of the fear and stress that was already there.
My hormones were a mess and I was deeply burned out. I came face to face with realizations about skewed ideas about productivity and worth that were perpetuating the pain of all that happened to me. I came to the conclusion that the only way forward was to really own every aspect of my life, including the pain and discomfort which I wanted to get rid of.
The softness and understanding of a more yin approach, together with all the other embodiment practices I am learning, is how I have been going about it for the last few months. I started using cyclical living as a way to predict my energy and creating spaciousness and compassion at time when I would be likely to need it. That is what I share with you in this course.
It has helped me find more ease, acceptance but also strength to rise again to create a life I deeply appreciate, not because it is perfect, but because it is uniquely mine.
Course Details
Although structured as a 4 week experience, you can cycle through the content for several months if needed. This course is not about ticking the boxes to feel better, but a well of inspiration you can keep drawing on and making your own as you grow & heal.
You can start at any time, based on which phase you might find yourself in. The introduction to cyclical living will help you orientate and get started. The material on cyclical living and the practices are self-paced. Like any learning, we only really integrate knowledge into personal wisdom when we revisit experiences more than once. In the same way, you will find more depth or resolution everytime you cycle through.
There are two ways to cycle through the material.
- Based on the lunar cycle (calendar included)
- Based on your personal moon (menstrual) cycle.
The lunar cycle is generally similar to the menstrual cycle in essence and duration. The information & experiences gained is easily carried over and made relevant to your own cycle if you wish. You can think of the lunar cycle as an external pace giver and the moon cycle as an internal one. Going forward you are free to choose with which cycle you connect.
Anyone who is interested in embodying a cyclical approach to living can do this course using the lunar cycles, regardless of how you identify. Mapping the lunar insights onto your moon cycle is a separate module for those who are interested or who find it relevant.
For those joining the journey now, we will be using the lunar cycle to guide our moon ceremonies as we explore the 4 phases and the energetic significance they carry. This is simply to allow for us all to move through the cycle at the same time.
