Mark your calendars this week! Saturday, October 14th there will be an Annular Solar Eclipse in Libra!

But what the heck does this mean for you?!

Well, while it’s a beautiful celestial event that you get to witness in most of the country, astrologically there’s A LOT happening with this transit as well.

So let’s break down all the pieces of this celestial event – what an eclipse in Libra even means, how this eclipse can affect you, working with this energy on your mat, and where in the Klamath Basin you can enjoy this eclipse!

“If you always put limits on everything you do - physical or anything else - it will spread into your work & into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus. And you must not stay there. You must go beyond them.” – Bruce Lee

The Solar Plexus Chakra – Manipura – translates as “place of shining gem,” and is located within your spine, at the level of your navel.

Manipura Mindfulness

If you’re able, find a comfortable seat, or lay down, and take a few moments to connect with your breath.

Allow your breath to slow down and deepen.

Bring your hands to your navel and as you breathe, feel as your hands rise and fall with the movement of your belly.

Begin to notice the heat of your hands on your belly.

The warm sensation of your own body heat warming and stimulating your core.

Visualize a large, bright, yellow ball of light residing here.

As you deepen into each breath, watch this light grow and expand

Until it envelopes your entire being.

Sit in this radiant warmth and notice what you feel.

The sacral chakra – Svadhishthana – means, “the dwelling place of the Self.” It’s located just below the belly button, in the lower part of your abdomen.

If you’re able, place your hand here for a moment and just breathe.

Notice how this space fills with air as you inhale.

Notice how it contracts and empties as you exhale.

Feel the warmth of your hand as it rests on your lower belly.

See if you can relax your shoulders and your neck a little more as you do.

When you’re ready, close your eyes, and bring your awareness and your mind’s eye to this space in your body.

What do you see?

Is there anything you feel here? Physically or emotionally or otherwise?

Take a few moments.

Before continuing further, maybe take note of anything you picked up on as you brought your awareness and your breath to this space in your body. It could be a simple thought, an emotion, a visual… Notice if any of the information you read about here, aligns with your experience.

Let’s begin.

Sol Luna Kids classes are now open for registration! This fall Sol Luna Yoga has heard your requests and excitement for more classes for kids and we are happy to announce they begin October 2nd! These classes will run on 10-week sessions, ending December 8th.

We’ve carefully curated classes for each of your littles, keeping in mind age and developmental stage. And, we’ve created a few different options for you as a parent with the understanding that every family, and schedule, and need, is different.

So without further adieu, let’s dive right in to all the information you’ll need to know about our upcoming kids’ classes, registration, and more!

I’m sure we’ve all been there – and if you haven’t, tell us your secret! That lower back pain that twinges in just the right area… at the most inconvenient time.

That one twinge makes you feel like you’re decades older than you are and well, now you’re ready to lay flat all day just to avoid it.

Except that option is probably, nearly, … impossible.

Your best bet is, realistically, to find ways to 1.) prevent the twinge from even happening, and 2.) when it does happen, find ways to effectively soothe that area of your body without having to lay flat for hours on end.

Luckily, yoga is an effective way to achieve both. For centuries yoga has been practiced as a natural, safe, and preventative way to alleviate all kinds of illness, ailment, and pain. For today, we’ll just focus on the back.
