What a super cool week! Solar eclipse AND new moon. I was reading that an eclipse is a portal for exponential growth and rapid change, while the new moon is a time to plant seeds of intention for which you seek to change... The combination is sure to sky rocket your transformation process. So, in celebration of space in all it's mystery and wonder, I give to you the Space Dance.
If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series.
Stretch up high, wave to the sun
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, say farewell to the earth
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes & pretend to pat the earth)
Feet jump back, into your rocket
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank)
Belly down, let's ride it around
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground, move from side to side as you pretend to fly through the atmosphere)
Look up at space, here we go!
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose
Look back at Earth, blow a kiss below
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog & blow a kiss)
& breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out)
Feet jump up, to the top of the rocket
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, say hello to the moon
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & pretend to pat the moon)
Stretch up high, wave to the galaxy
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head)
Now Alien pose! (or Astronaut pose)
(Create your own cool/silly/awesome alien or astronaut pose)
