What Is Moon Qi Yoga?
Moon Qi Yoga is a vinyasa-based movement system that aligns physical asana practice with the Moon and its astrological transits. Each class is designed to reflect the energetic tone of the sky, allowing the body, breath, and mind to move in rhythm with natural cosmic cycles.
The Moon changes signs approximately every two and a half days, and with each shift, the collective energy changes.
The Moon rules our subconscious, emotions, and instinctual body, shaping how we feel, process, and respond to the world around us. Moon Qi Yoga works in alignment with the Moon’s influence, offering a practice that supports the body and nervous system by moving with the energy rather than against it.
Classes are structured through the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water, with each element informing the sequencing, pace, and intention of the practice:
Fire cultivates heat, courage, and activation.
Earth builds stability, strength, and grounding.
Air supports clarity, curiosity, and perspective.
Water invites fluidity, emotional release, and intuitive awareness.
Moon Qi Yoga also works seasonally with the Sun’s journey through the zodiac. Each astrological season carries a central theme, which is explored through the four elemental classes across the month. This layered structure allows practitioners to experience both the short-term influence of the Moon’s daily transits and the deeper developmental arc of the season, supporting sustained growth and integration over time.
