Where do you turn when your world feels like it’s spinning out of control? We all have our own rituals to help us maintain inner peace in times of struggle, but it can’t hurt to try new things as well. If you find your old routine isn’t working to bring the relaxation into your spirit that it used to, it might be time to add a new ritual to your repertoire.

　　Try combining your older rituals to make them fresh and more empowering.

　　Yoga and astrology are two unique functions that help us along our path. Astrology guides us through the stars and their journey, lighting our way with wisdom. Yoga brings peace to our body, relaxing and balancing our core. But what happens when we marry these two ancient tools?

　　

Hatha Yoga

The roots of the word “hatha” are derived from the Sanskrit word for sun, or “ha,” and the Sanskrit word for moon, or “tha.” Essentially, this could be thought of as sun and moon yoga. This type of yoga can inspire us to sync our bodies up with the phases of the moon and the warmth of the sun.

　　This is a wonderful type of yoga to practice, combining astrology with the healing practice of body movements and poses.
