During the recent Full Moon in Sagittarius, I found myself amidst a swirl of unforeseen interruptions that pulled me away from my cherished yoga routine. It was one of those periods where every challenge seemed to feed into another, culminating in a literal cut to my finger—serving as both a physical and metaphorical pause. Yet, it was precisely this pause that allowed me to refocus and tap into the deep-seated power of self-expression and realization that Sagittarius so ardently champions.

Sagittarius, a sign known for its quest for truth and higher knowledge, guided me back to my mat and, more importantly, to my inner self. The journey back to yoga was inspired by a session led by NicoMarie the BlackYogi on YouTube, focusing on communication and creativity. Her guidance under the Full Moon was not just about physical poses but about releasing the mental blocks—what I call the “b.s.”—that cloud our minds and spirits.

In the light of the Sagittarius moon, I reconnected with my Throat Chakra, the vital energy center associated with expression and truth. It was a profound reminder that speaking our truth isn’t just about vocal expression; it’s also about aligning our actions with our true intentions and desires. The Throat Chakra teaches us that our voice has power—power to heal, to manifest, and to transform.

Embracing this energy, I designed a yoga mat that embodies this spirit of renewal and expression. The mat, titled “Embrace Your Inner Lotus,” features a design that combines elements of the lotus flower—symbolic of purity and enlightenment—with a representation of a melanated figure adorned in Ankh earrings, echoing strength and cultural heritage. This design isn’t just an accessory for your practice; it’s a call to embrace your own transformation, to rise from muddy waters, clear and whole.

As we move from the Full Moon towards the New Moon, let us continue to focus on what needs to be expressed and released. Whether it’s through yoga, meditation, or simply speaking your truth, remember that every phase of the moon offers a unique energy for personal growth and healing. Let the current moon phase guide you to understand not just the limitations imposed by life’s cuts and disruptions, but more so, the vast possibilities that lie in what they do not stop us from achieving.

Sending you positive inner-G,
