Welcome, and thank you for joining me for this creative moon flow where we will tap into this quality, this lunar quality of the divine feminine and the second chakra, which is really, this symbol of the crescent moon, this internal kind of intuitive quality. So let's begin seated back on our heels in Bajrasena. If this isn't comfortable for you, you're welcome to find any comfortable seated position or maybe even take a block between your ankles and sit on that. And then we'll start with a hand gesture or a mudra. So start by taking your index fingers.

The tips of your index fingers and your thumbs together. So you're making kind of this diamond shape with those 2 fingers. And then for the rest of the fingers, the middle finger the ring finger and the pinky finger, we'll find an interlace and then tuck the fingers in so that there's this diamond shape, and then we're gonna flip it to face down toward the earth and let your hands rest toward your lower abdomen. You can just kinda let your elbows play out to the side. And then just take a moment to land here.

So if it feels comfortable, close your eyes. Soften your shoulders. Tune into your breath. This Mudra is called Yoni Mudra, and it tunes into the wisdom of the womb, the divine feminine, and the intuitive internal voice. We all have this intuitive nature Sometimes we just have to get quiet enough to listen.

If you can allow the breath to fill the lower belly. The sacral chakra, this quality of water, the element of water, that fluid nature of the inhale and the exhale. So finding smooth inhale. And a smooth exhale. And then maybe just taking a moment here to set an intention for our practice, anything you'd like to call in.

So the hips are over the knees. And then there's this big expansion through the heart space. You might even gaze up. And as you exhale, let your hands come down to the earth, come toward child's pose. So let your hips sink back towards your heels, and we'll take this 1st round a little slower as we move through each shape. Bowing the head down toward the earth.

So in this variation, tuck your toes. Take a moment to sit back on your heels. Now you could come up into traditional camels, the hips up over the knees, resting the hands on the low back, and then letting the sternum start to lift up toward the sky. You could stay here or reach back for your heels, or you might take this from a different approach by sitting back on the heels, toes are tucked, take your hands to your ankles, and then you start to lift the hips up from here, lift the heart lift the sternum kind of unraveling here coming up into Camel from that position.

Good. I'm in slowly inhale to come up. Bring both legs out in front of you. Flex your feet, sit up tall on your sitting bones.

And as you inhale sweep the arms up, feel the length in the spine. And then leading with the heart, Pashi Motanasana, one last fold here, maybe wiggle little side to side, letting your hands fall wherever they fall. Send the breath to the back of the legs. And breathe. Beautiful. And then as you're ready, let's inhale and slowly slide onto the back.

Welcome to bring the knees with you for a moment. Maybe rock a little side to side. Maybe take a happy baby holding on to the shins. The ankles are the outsides of the feet, knees wide. Maybe the knees are just hugging in any last movement.

That would feel good in your body here. And feel that connection to the earth. Make that transition as you're ready into Shavasana. So letting the legs go long on your mat. Letting the feet roll open.

The shoulders draw down the back. You could bring the palms to face up. This is sacred pause to rest, tuning into your intuition. Just notice Shivasama. Don't let me start to rock your head, side to side, massaging through the neck.

Feel free to stay here as long as you like or invite some gentle movement back in. Bringing the awareness back to your breath, your physical body. Maybe reach your arms up over your ears, point through the toes, allow a big breath in, and a long full breath out. Just take your time as you make your way to seated, bend the knees, maybe roll over to one side. Pause there.
