Walk into a magical and sacred experience with the highest of frequencies, where we come together to perform a full moon ritual of setting intentions, manifesting and releasing what no longer serves us, shifting you into your highest timeline.

The full moon is a time of heightened energy and intensity. It is a powerful time to release what no longer serves you and make room for new energy to come into your life.

During this class, we will begin with a guided meditation and enjoy sound bath throughout while also writing, sharing and burning what we would like to release or let go of with love and gratitude in a sacred space.

Oracle cards will be drawn to help guide you through the next lunar cycle.

What to bring:

•Journal/paper

•Crystals you want to cleanse

•A feeling, idea, or direction you want to shed and clear in your life

•An open heart and mind

Benefits of Knitting and Yoga Physical Benefits

1. Improved Hand-Eye Coordination (Knitting): Engaging in precise hand movements strengthens fine motor skills.

2. Increased Flexibility (Yoga): Regular yoga stretches improve joint mobility and muscle elasticity.

3. Reduced Blood Pressure: Both knitting and yoga promote relaxation, which can lead to lower blood pressure.

Mental Health Benefits

1. Stress Relief: The repetitive motion of knitting and the deep breathing in yoga reduce cortisol levels.

2. Enhanced Focus: Both activities encourage mindfulness, improving concentration and reducing mental clutter.

3. Combat Anxiety and Depression: Knitting and yoga activate relaxation responses, counteracting negative thought patterns.

Social and Emotional Benefits

1. Community Connection: Sharing projects in a group promotes bonding and reduces feelings of isolation.

2. Boosted Self-Esteem: Completing knitting projects and mastering yoga poses build confidence.

3. Encourages Creativity: Both activities stimulate problem-solving and innovation.

Scientific Research Supporting the Benefits Knitting:

• Stress Reduction: A 2013 study published in the British Journal of Occupational Therapy found that 81% of knitters reported feeling happier and more relaxed while knitting.

• Cognitive Preservation: Research from the Mayo Clinic suggests that knitting reduces the risk of cognitive impairment by keeping the brain active. Yoga:

• Mental Health: A 2018 meta-analysis published in Frontiers in Psychiatry found yoga to be effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

• Cardiovascular Health: A 2014 Harvard Medical School report highlighted yoga’s benefits in lowering blood pressure and improving heart rate variability.

• Neuroplasticity: Studies in The Journal of Neuroscience suggest yoga improves brain function and promotes neurogenesis, enhancing memory and focus.

By merging these practices, the Yogi Knitting gathering offers a holistic approach to well-being, blending the benefits of mindfulness, movement, and creativity.

Say farewell to 2024 by letting go of what no longer serves you. Make space to cultivate intentions in 2025. Through the ancient practice of Yoga Nidra meditation, you will begin to restore the body, clear the mind, and shift the habitual patterns that keep you from being calm, clear, and balanced. Yoga Nidra gradually coaxes brainwaves into lower states, much like those during sleep states, to systematically release stored physical, emotional, and mental tensions. Through the process, you can begin to let go of the old beliefs and habits that keep you locked in your past. Allow your emotions to be experienced knowing that you have the capacity to feel them from a grounded and calm inner presence. Carry this new way of being back into all areas of your life, welcome 2025 with joy, strength, calmness and clarity.
