Dear Yogis,

Tonight, we welcome the gentle glow of April’s full moon – a moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves on a deeper level.

Full moons invite illumination. They highlight our hidden emotions, who we really are on the inside – offering us clarity, release, and renewal. You may notice emotions rising a little closer to the surface, or a quiet pull inward – this is the moon’s energy guiding you back home to yourself.

On your mat, I invite you to move slowly and with intention. Honour this energy through grounding and heart-opening poses. You might explore:

Gentle forward folds, like Child’s Pose or Standing Forward Fold, to encourage release.
Hip openers such as Pigeon Pose, allowing stored emotions to soften and unwind.
Heart-opening postures like Cobra or Bridge, to invite in openness and light.
Seated twists, supporting detoxification and letting go.
And perhaps ending with a longer Savasana, simply resting under the energy of the moon.

Above all, let your practice be less about doing, and more about feeling.

If you have a moment tonight, step outside, look up, and allow ourself to be held in the quiet magic of the moonlight.

Love & Light

Dear Yogis,

“What if you no longer needed to control everything/“ The lunar eclipse of March 3 in Virgo poses this question head-on. It marks the end of a cycle of mental tension and opens up a space where perfection ceases to be a protection.

This Full Moon invites us to come back to our lives – our habits, routines, thoughts, and self care rituals. Virgo energy is practical, observant, and healing.
Under this moon, we are encouraged to clear what feels cluttered – physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Spiritually, this is a moon of:

* Purification and cleansing

* Releasing perfection

* Realigning with healthy routines

* Devotion to self care and service

Virgo reminds us that spirituality is not only found in grand gestures, but in the small, mindful acts we repeat daily – how we nourish ourselves, how we speak to ourselves, how we care for our bodies.

This moon asks:

Where can I simplify? Where can I soften self judgement? What small habit could bring more harmony into my life?

A Full Moon invites illumination. It shines a light on what has been building beneath the surface – emotions, intentions, patterns. When a lunar eclipse
joins in, that energy is amplified. Eclipses are like cosmic reset buttons. They help us release what no longer serves us and gently ( or sometimes not so gently!) redirect us towards where we’re meant to grow.

If you can, step outside and soak in the moonlight. Let it remind you that cycles are natural. Just like the moon, we are constantly shifting, shedding, and renewing.

With love

Sima

Dear Yogis,

Today, we welcome the full moon in Leo – a powerful moment of illumination and bold energy.

Leo full moons are all about self expression, creativity, and confidence. You might feel more vibrant, a bit more dramatic, or have a strong urge to shine and be seen. Embrace this energy and let it guide you towards authenticity and joy.

This is a time to celebrate your unique gifts. Reflect on what makes you feel alive and expressive. Engage in creative activities and allow yourself to shine. 

Be mindful of overconfidence or the need for validation. The Leo full moon can sometimes stir up a bit of ego. Balance your confidence with humility and compassion. 

 Yoga poses that support this energy

To align with Leo’s vibrant energy, try poses that open the heart and boost confidence:

 Camel Pose ( Ustrasana ) to open the chest and heart centre.

Warrior poses ( Virabhadrasana ) to cultivate strength and courage.

 Fish Pose ( Matsyasana ) for a gentle heart opener.

 Lion’s Pose ( Simhasana ) to release tension and of course, end with a peaceful Savasana to integrate the energy.

Remember, you don’t need to “fix” anything during a full moon. Simply feel, breathe, and allow. Everything else will unfold in its own time.

Sending you love, calm, and steady energy under this Leo moon 

See you on the mat 

Dear Yogis,

Thank you so munch for your understanding. I’m really looking forward to welcoming you back to the mat and beginning the new year together with intention, movement, and breath.

Lovely yogis,

As we come to the end of the year, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for your presence, dedication, and beautiful energy on the mat.
Practising together has been a true gift, and I’m truly grateful for our shared journey this year.

I wish you a peaceful Christmas filled with rest, joy, and warmth, and a New Year that brings balance, health, and fresh inspiration.

Classes will begin again on Tuesday, January 6, and I’m looking forward to welcoming you back to the mat and starting the new term together.

With love and gratitude

Dear yogis,

Tonight we gather under a special full moon – a “supermoon” – when the moon is at its closest point to Earth, glowing brighter and stronger than usual.
This amplified lunar light offers a powerful time for reflection, release, and renewal.

Because our bodies are over 70% water, the moon’s heightened energy tends to stir our “inner waters” – emotions, intuition, memories, and subtle feelings. Tonight, those waters may rise gently to the surface, offering an opportunity to honour whatever needs acknowledging – old grief, unspoken dreams, creative longings, or inner wisdom.

I encourage you to use this evening for a gentle, soft yoga or meditation practice, pay special attention to your breath – slow and deep – and let yourself intuitively move or rest. Perhaps set an intention or write in a journal: something you wish to release, transform, or welcome into your life.

Let the moon’s luminous presence guide you – to soften , to sense, to heal. May this last supermoon light of 2025 bring clarity, compassion, and peace to your heart.

With love and lunar light,

Sima

Dear yogis,

Classes will continue as usual the following week and will run through until December 16.
Looking forward to seeing you back on the mat soon.
Love & light, Sima 🧘‍♀️

Dear Yogis,
As we approach this month’s full moon – the Beaver Moon – We are invited to pause, breathe, and feel. Full moons are powerful energetic gateways – a time when everything rises to the surface so we can see clearly, release deeply, and realign with intention.
The full moon occurs on 05 November, and it falls in the sign of Taurus. It’s classed as a supermoon: this is the biggest and brightest full moon of 2025, because the moon is at or near its closest point to Earth.
This Beaver Moon in Taurus carries potent themes of grounding, value, stability, and material/spiritual balance. The Beaver Moon name reminds us of preparation, of finalising what needs tending before winter – in nature and inside ourselves.
Key words: steadiness, worth, inner resources, comfort, release of old patterns around security, sensuality, grounded being.
Invitation: Ask yourself – What do I value most? What supports me in feeling safe, stable, and aligned? What am I ready to release or transform so I can stand in my own strength?
This full moon in Taurus invites a gentle, grounded, sensory practice – one where the body is honoured, the senses awakened, and the release is soft but firm.
To honour this lunar cycle, I invite you to bring this theme of “value & grounded being” into your yoga practice. Let’s slow down the pace, soften the practice and honour the moon’s wisdom together.
With love, light, and lunar blessings,
Sima

Dear Yogi friends,
Today, we welcome the Hunter’s Moon, the full moon that follows the Harvest Moon. Traditionally, its bright light guided hunters as they prepared for the colder, darker months ahead. Spiritually, this moon invites us to do the same – to reflect on what we have gathered this year and prepare ourselves inwardly for the season ahead.
The full moon always amplifies energy, stirring emotions like the tides. You may feel more sensitive, restless or deeply reflective at this time. The Hunters Moon encourages us to ask:
✨ What am I ready to release?
✨ What do I wish to carry with me into the winter months?
The Moon governs tides, and since our bodies are around 60% water, many traditions link full moons to emotional intensity.
A gentle way to balance this watery emotional energy is through grounding practices; slow yoga flows, hip-opening poses ( to release stored emotional tension ), and calming breathwork like nadi shodahana ( alternate nostril breathing ).
May this full moon shine light on your path, guiding you with clarity and peace as we move closer to the stillness of winter.
With love and light

Dear Yogis,
Today, We welcome the Corn Moon in Pisces, accompanied by a powerful total lunar eclipse.
This full moon shines a light on our inner world, especially our emotions, and like the tides of ocean, we too may feel pulled in deep directions.
The Pisces energy brings heightened sensitivity, intuition, and compassion. You may notice dreams becoming more vivid, emotions rising to the surface, or old patterns revealing themselves. This is not a time to resist – it’s an invitation to soften, surrender and release.
In Yoga tradition, the full moon is linked to prana ( energy ) being at its peak, which can make us feel both energised and unsteady. That’s why soft, inward practices – rather than strong flows help us balance and honour this powerful lunar phase.
May this Corn Moon guide you to release with grace, flow with your emotions like water, and find stillness within.
With lunar light
