Yoga and Astrology

Follow me on:

It seems very natural to merge yoga with astrology, as "heavenly bodies and our bodies moving in harmony." The inspiration for Yogastrology® came to Diane Booth Gilliam as a yogini in India. At a full Moon fire ceremony yanga, she sensed the ancient correlation between yoga and astrology.

She's designed a special practice for each Zodiac sign based on its traditional associations. For Aquarius this month, it's ankles for strength and unity. You can download it via iTunes, or listen to a sample on Yogichocolate.com.

Diane gives a simple explanation of What is Yogastrology, describing the planets as living entities. I did Mountain Pose this morning, as part of the 8 minute Aquarius practice. It's a moving meditation that can make "the living entities" more real for us, as we sense their currents in our own bodies.
