Empowering session at Yoga for Everyone. April 2025 marks a season of transition and awakening

April marks a season of transition and awakening—when nature stirs from its sleep, the days grow longer, and our bodies naturally seek more movement, light, and connection. It’s the perfect time to stand tall, both physically and energetically.

In our April sessions of Yoga for Everyone, we explore standing postures, a foundation of yoga practice, and a powerful tool for anchoring ourselves in times of change.

Why Standing Poses in April?

After months of hibernation, it’s common to feel a bit ungrounded or out of sync with our physical vitality. Standing poses like Tadasana (Mountain Pose) and Virabhadrasana (Warrior) help us:

• Reclaim our relationship with gravity

• Awaken our leg muscles and stabilizers

• Cultivate rootedness, balance, and presence

  
  

In a world that feels like it's always shifting, standing tall is a quiet revolution. These poses don’t just build physical strength—they empower us to take a stand emotionally and spiritually.

Standing Tall to Move Forward

The sessions focus on standing postures for asserting yourself and moving forward. Through the grounding power of the feet and the vertical rise of the spine, exploring:

• Strength & Stability – Grounding ourselves with confidence

• Balance & Verticality – Inhabiting our space with awareness

• Determination & Focus – Moving forward with clarity and purpose

  
  

We also integrate pranayama, relaxation, and meditation to enhance inner resilience and clarity—tools that are more important than ever right now.

As we move through these postures, we don’t just stretch—we remember. We remember how it feels to be solid, connected, and empowered. We develope confidence in ourselves, feel fully alive in our bodies, and sense fullness.

Affirming to ourselves:

I am proud of myself. I am anchored. I am rooted in the soil. I am solid, stable. With confidence and gratitude, I can move forward.

Neptune in Aries: A Cosmic Push Toward Self-Satisfaction

As we practice, we also tap into the energy of a powerful astrological shift: Neptune has entered Aries for the first time since 1875.

This cosmic event brings a new wave of self-discovery, healing, and courageous imagination. In Pisces, Neptune invites us to dream and feel deeply. Now in Aries, it urges us to act on those dreams—with fire, focus, and a pioneering spirit.

As astrologer Narayana Montúfar, author of Moon Signs: Unlock Your Inner Luminary Power, writes, this moment can feel like “waking up from a long dream, opening our eyes to truths we’ve been avoiding.” Neptune in Aries inspires bold steps toward our visions—asserting our truth, redefining love and connection, and supporting others from a place of renewed strength.

April is no longer a passive transition—it’s an invitation to rise, move, and embody our path.

I invite you to stand with me. To feel the earth beneath your feet, your heart opens, your gaze steadies. To fully inhabit your body and let your breath carry you forward. To honor your strength and softness, and walk with presence into what comes next.

See you on the mat!

With presence and gratitude,
