Suggested Practice: The Jewel Within the Lotus

Yinstorative

This relaxing yin practice helps you connect to yourself with tenderness and softness. Familiar postures with a focus on the heart will allow you to settle and feel at peace. This is perfect for anxious times or when you feel restless and uncertain.

Astrological Overview: Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio, beginning a period of deeper reflection, reconsideration, and emotional inquiry. Old conversations, unresolved questions, or familiar patterns may return to our awareness, offering an opportunity to understand them from a new perspective. With the Moon in Aries, resist the temptation to rush toward immediate answers. Instead, allow curiosity and patience to guide your exploration.

Retrograde Spotlight ☿ Mercury in Scorpio: Mercury retrograde in Scorpio invites us to investigate the stories, beliefs, and emotional experiences that influence how we understand ourselves and the world. Rather than viewing this period as a setback, consider it an opportunity to revisit something with greater wisdom. Sometimes the most meaningful discoveries come not from seeking something new, but from recognizing what has been waiting beneath the surface all along.

Reflection: What recurring pattern or experience am I ready to understand more deeply?

Crystal: Obsidian

A Monthly Ceremony of Release, Renewal, and Lunar Wisdom

The Full Moon Temple is a monthly ceremonial gathering devoted to reflection, release, and energetic renewal.

Each gathering is uniquely guided by the astrology of the Full Moon, elemental energies, and a featured archetype. Practices shift month to month and may include restorative yoga, EFT tapping, breathwork, guided journeys, mantra, meditation, and subtle energy healing.

• Earth and Water Moons often invite grounding, nervous-system support, and emotional release.

• Air and Fire Moons tend to open more expansive pathways through breath, mantra, visualization, and intuitive journeying.

No two ceremonies are ever the same. This is a living temple — a space to attune to the lunar cycle, listen inward, and return to your own rhythm.

All levels are welcome.

A fluid, intuitive yoga practice designed to awaken prana and support energetic alignment.

Classes vary week to week and may include vinyasa, hatha, kundalini-inspired movement, yin, breathwork, meditation, mudra, and energy work, guided by the season and collective energy. Some practices are strong and dynamic; others are slower and more spacious.

All levels welcome. Options are always offered.

This season encourages us to look beneath the surface, embrace our emotional truth, and recognize the strength that emerges through change.

Something that has been shifting beneath the surface may now begin to find outward expression.

Planetary Gateway ♇ Pluto Direct: Pluto’s retrograde periods draw transformation inward, revealing the deeper patterns beneath our choices, fears, and desires. As Pluto turns direct, we may begin to recognize how that inner work wants to change the way we participate in our lives. Transformation doesn’t need to happen all at once. Sometimes reclaiming our power begins simply by recognizing that another possibility exists.

Celestial Stargate ☀️ Foramen: Foramen lies within the great constellation Carina, the Keel of the ancient celestial ship Argo Navis. Its imagery evokes the structure that steadies a vessel through uncertain waters.

Yin

So much of our energy can leak into worries, distractions, and stories that aren’t worthy of our precious attention.

We begin with a guided meditation to return to presence and reflect on Don Miguel Ruiz’s wisdom about shaping your own dream through perception.

Astrological Overview: The Moon enters Scorpio and squares Pluto in Aquarius, amplifying emotional intensity and potentially bringing frustration closer to the surface.

Crystal: Obsidian

Suggested Practice: New Moon Cosmic Yin for Libra season and the planet Venus

Yin

Activate and align with the astrological season in this cosmic yin practice focusing on Libra season, the equinox, and the planet Venus.

Astrological Overview: The Libra New Moon opens a new cycle around relationships, commitments, cooperation, and balance—but with Libra’s ruler, Venus, retrograde in Scorpio, this New Moon looks backward as much as forward. Second chances, reconnections, and renewed commitments may be more meaningful than entirely new beginnings. Venus square Mars adds passionate energy that is best given a creative or constructive outlet.

Lunar Gateway 🌑 Libra New Moon: Libra reminds us that relationships are living things. They require listening, adjustment, honesty, boundaries, and the willingness to meet one another anew. With Venus retrograde, this New Moon asks us to consider what deserves another chance—not necessarily because we want to recreate the past, but because we may now be capable of approaching it differently.

Celestial Stargate ☀️ Seginus: Seginus shines within Boötes, the Herdsman, a constellation associated with guidance and tending.

Crystal: Jade

A fluid, intuitive yoga practice designed to awaken prana and support energetic alignment.

Classes vary week to week and may include vinyasa, hatha, kundalini-inspired movement, yin, breathwork, meditation, mudra, and energy work, guided by the season and collective energy. Some practices are strong and dynamic; others are slower and more spacious.

All levels welcome. Options are always offered.

Yin

This heart-centered Yin practice is designed to create space for healing, compassion, and deeper connection through gentle movement, breath, and meditation.

Its supportive sextile with Mars in Leo brings warmth and momentum, making this a good day to approach relationship patterns with courage rather than avoidance.

Reflection: What relationship pattern am I ready to approach differently?

Crystal: Rhodonite

Connect with the seasons and the beauty of the Gardens through Mandi's creative, nature-inspired yoga classes. This gentle to moderate flow class blends mindful movements, stretching, breath, and meditative practices to cultivate a calm mind and peaceful strength.

Crystal: Moss Agate
