The Sun Moon Themed Yoga Class Plan has FIVE vinyasa flows. That’s one flow for each phase of the Moon, and one for the Sun. It’s like having five lesson plans in one. You’ll be emailed an invoice/order confirmation with links to access the resources.
The lesson plan comes with a short, long and stream versions.
The short version is perfect for taking into class with you. It’s short and sweet.
The long version has everything you need to practice the lesson plan before getting to class. You can take it to class with you (but you may prefer to take the short version). The long version is a great handout to give to your students, especially your one-to-one students. It immediately shows your professionalism and increases your expertise in the eyes of your students.
The stream version is a video stream of the lesson plan.

Lesson Plan Theme
Sun & Moon: Energetic Counterparts
There are 5 vinyasa flows in this lesson plan. One for each phase of the Moon, and one for the Sun. You can practice all five flows in one session, or just focus on one. It’s like having 5 lesson plans in one.

Ask your students to choose one of the Sun/Moon symbols below to focus on during the class. Sit in silence at the end of the class focusing on the symbol that was chosen.
Moon Themes
Waning Moon Vinyasa Flow: Symbolic Of Letting Go
Waning Moon means the moon is decreasing in size, moving from the Full Moon towards the New Moon. This is a time for letting go of thoughts, habits, addictions, and relationships that aren’t lighting you up but keeping you in darkness.
New Moon Vinyasa Flow: Symbolic Of New Beginnings
This phase occurs for three nights when the Moon is completely dark with zero percent luminosity and the night the crescent new moon appears.
Waxing Moon Vinyasa Flow: Symbolic Of Growth
A Waxing Moon means the moon is getting larger in the sky, moving from the New Moon towards the Full Moon.
Full Moon Vinyasa Flow: Symbolic Of Peak Clarity & Fruition
A Full Moon is a lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is completely illuminated as seen from Earth. This occurs when Earth is located directly between the Sun and the Moon.

Sun Moon Quote
I’ll leave you with this quote from Buddha…
“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
And this quote by a wise anonymous person…
“Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.”
