Moving with the Moon
At Embodhi Feminine Wellness,
we align our workout intensity with the cycle of the moon!
This novel approach allows us to utilize the energetic ebb and flow
the moon produces on the planet, and within *us*,
connecting us more deeply with our sacred feminine energy.
Many of us know the drill.
We set an intention to work out more
~run, hit the gym, get on that Peloton~
only to feel discouraged, frustrated and disappointed in ourselves
when we hit a period of low energy and just.... can't.
The truth is,
this isn't a failure of our bodies, commitment or motivation.
It's a natural, organic cycle that transforms from enemy to friend once we learn to
glow with the flow!
WARM UP: New Moon- Waxing Crescent (days 1-6)
Our energy, strength and resilience are on the lower side.
Time for a clean slate, gathering our thoughts, planning our goals and planting their seeds.
Our routines and sequences during this time honor, nourish and support this phase of energy.
This doesn't mean we don't get a fantastic workout in!
Our workouts are a slow burn and very intentional.
Lots of stretching as well to make sure our bodies are limber
and ready for the upcoming high-intensity Full Moon energy!

WORK OUT: Waxing Gibbous to Full Moon (days 7-13)
We feel the momentum building!
We are active, outgoing, energy is high and peaks with the Full Moon.
We fertilize the seeds we planted with inspired action,
giving them nourishment to thrive and flourish!
We take advantage of the sensual and powerful vibes we're feeling
with higher-intensity cardio and strength training routines!

COOL DOWN: Waning Gibbous- Waning Crescent (days 14-21)
We begin to wind down after our burst of energy during the previous phase.
Time to turn inward, think about our goals, be grateful,
trust and let go of binding habits that harm us.
We slow it back down again with flowing movements and routines
designed to help us release control and negative energy and cultivate gratitude.
Flowing workouts that enhance inner connection, stamina, flexibility,
balance, digestion, posture and mental focus.

And finally, we REST: Last Quarter (days 22-28)
Our energy is withdrawing to prepare for the upcoming new cycle.
We've done our work, planted the seeds, helped them to grow,
and released them to the Universe with trust that they will be fulfilled.
We surrender, recuperate and rest with low-flow routines and sequences
that will support our bodies in recovery.
