Bakasana to Headstand….because folding clothes seems basic.
Grace. Movement. Growth.
As the moon wanes I’m turning inward to radiate outward.
Less talk. More soul work.
Feeling good. Flowing to Bruno Mars.
Love & Moonlight,

First Quarter Moon in Aquarius.
Setting the mood last night. Yoga by candlelight with doTerra’s Forgive blend in the air diffuser.
Last nights First Quarter Moon in Aquarius was nothing short of magical. Aquarius…the water-bearer. Fluid and limitless. Individualized and free. Aquarius reminds us that we hold the space that surrounds us.
We have the freedom of creating a space that kindles our eternal flame within. It doesn’t have to be grand…a simple one lit candle will do. If your body is your temple, then your home is your garden…create your space.
If you only have one bedroom…personalize it. If you have a traveling altar…bring it with you. If you have a home away from your home like a yoga center and want support…go there, they’ve created a space there to hold for you to melt in.
Whatever you do…surround yourself with things that kindle your eternal flame…and if you are feeling grand…build your stately palace by candlelight.
Love & Moonlight,
Kelly
P.S. Last nights yoga flow was inspired by the Rishi Twist seen above. In Sanskrit it is called the Bharadvaja or Bharadvajasana. Heart lifted… When you come out of the pose…slowly unfold like a water fountain with your head unfolding last.
New Moon Flow… in Scorpio. I ain’t worried about shit… #scorpio #igotme #yougotyou? I hope so…love hard…love wild… and love free…
Love & Moonlight,

New Moon Flow…
Balance.
Balance.
Yin.
Yang.
Yin.
Yang.
Harmony. It is THE one thing I strive for in each day. Ebb. Flow. Rhythm. Balance. Libra, the Scales, offers some insight on just that. What can you do to stay balanced? What can you let go of to open up for? Find that inner rhythm to your divine soul. Develop a yin yang state of mind. Light. Dark. Feminine. Masculine. It is all needed to be well rounded and balanced.
I didn’t post about the last quarter moon…I was busy transfiguring. Completely thankful and watching some heavy shifts happening. I applied for the Savannah Yoga Center Teacher Training program and got in! It starts this October 14th and I’m completely OVER THE MOON! I spent the last part of this past lunar cycle getting excited and prepared and spent the yin Balsamic Phase in a quiet and grateful way. Started a yoga journal….been reading more… Been thinking a lot about Yin and Yang…
You would think that at a new moon it would be a time of yin…and in some ways, yes it is.. because there is always an element of both yin and yang in each and every day….BUT a new moon is really a Yang phase. It is a time to set a new intention…a new beginning…the beginning of a journey….the catapult to get moving.
Be mindful to not over exert yourself. In a world full of YANG….it can be very easy to fall into the exhausting routine of keeping up with the Joneses. If you get to that point…take it back a bit. Check in with yourself and reevaluate your intentions. Find your balance. Find your yin….find a place of peace…find a person that balances you out. If you are a very Yang person by nature…find a friend or a lover or a family member that is more Yin to balance you out…odds are they need your Yang too.
So taking that in to consideration and thinking about Libra….we can then start thinking in a yin yang way….BALANCE. you need them both… Moving forward and starting a new intention…lets yang it up…and really make an effort to do the things we have always wanted to do…
For me…it’s all about the Yoga Teacher Training. I’m so ready for this phase in my life and can’t wait to get flowing. My intention is to be the student I need to be to transform my life and those around me….I can’t wait to learn the foundations and philosophy of yoga and really open up more spiritually. I’m making waves…
Love & Moonlight,
Kelly.
P.S. The video was from this mornings yoga flow with my youngest daughter Uma. Song: Skinny Love By: Bon Iver
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
P.S.S. Even though right now we are being really YANG to get some things flowing…take time tonight to sit down and honor your body with a little yin meditation. Your body will thank you…
Because I’ve been preoccupied…here is proof that I am still alive… a bit of yin yoga…
Kelly
PS…got some good coming in my camp!
Monday Rainy Nights be Like…

Open Heart.
Open Heart.
Love & Moonlight,
Kelly
Ps. Have MERCY on yourself…
Went to Tybee to greet the moon. BTW, me and Tybee love each other…
Serenity…tranquillity… In the bhav. Samatha-Bhavana…
With a sky like this…waiting on the moon went to a whole new level…swoon…
Me…in a nut shell…
Hello Full Moon…
Because me and the moon love each other….

Full Moon in Aquarius
I’m digging it…decided that I’d grab hold of my freedom. Aquarius will splap you in the face to wake you up. I’m awake awake awake! Aquarius is all about freedom and individuality.
What holds us back from having that? Society? The expectations? The “idea” of what is normal? What is normal anyway?
Aquarius would tell you too much compromising strays you from your own truth….your own freedom…your own individuality.
Tonight make a promise to yourself that your happiness is important. Stop thinking about what society wants you to think….think what you want to think.
For me…I did EXACTLY what I wanted to do…I went to the beach, rolled around in the sand, and watched the moon rise over the Atlantic Ocean…that to me is freedom. Freedom to be a lady rolling around in the sand on the beach alone….reveling in my own skin without a care in the world….
Love & Moonlight,
Kelly
Ps. Find your freedom…
Pss. About to do a releasing burning ritual…writing stuff out and burning it in the moonlight…
Full moon got me like…
Ps. Capricorn and Aquarius energy is on the rise. If you haven’t felt the urge to make life happen…WAKE UP. Set any cold emotions aside and take them for what the “are”…temporary. Feel them, acknowledge them, and then move on. Life waits for no one.
