ORBITAE
Move at the pace of your body.
As you move through the changing hormonal, physical and emotional changes of your menstrual cycle, your yoga practice can support you.
We are cyclical beings.
Orbitae Cyclical Living classes are an opportunity to honour this, and in doing so, move away from burnout.
With guided meditations for each phase, as well as 30 and 60 minute classes, you can move at the pace of your body, honouring your needs, while still remaining consistent.
The phases of your menstrual cycle (based on an average 28 day cycle)
menstruation / inner winter / dark moon ~ days 1-5
follicular / inner spring / waxing moon ~ days 6-12
ovulation / inner summer / full moon ~ days 13-15
luteal / inner autumn / waning moon ~ days 16-28
Please bear in mind, these phases are not clear cut and absolute, rather, they blend and merge into each other just as the seasons do. They are a guide, and only that, for you to deepen your relationship with you body and your practice.
As this wisdom becomes more widely known and accepted, we are given opportunities to examine the ways in which we abandon ourselves and our needs in favour of the way things are.
Including the way we practice yoga. Vinyasa seven days of the week is not sustainable. It took me a long time to learn this.
When we adjust our lives and our yoga practice to work with our cycle, rather than pushing against it, we reclaim our connection to our bodies. We become self-sovereign. We learn rest as a radical act of resistance to systems that keep us small. We learn to feel at home in our skin.
"Ignoring or despising menstruation is one of the ways misogyny manifests itself." - Lara Owen
In respecting and aligning with our bodies natural rhythm, our lives and our yoga practice becomes more fulfilling and sustainable.
Orbitae Cyclical Living classes are the base for which you to start exploring how it feels to align your practice with your bodies internal rhythm.
