Lunar phase 7 of 8

Last Quarter

Let go and clear space.

In the sky

Half of the Moon is lit again, this time the opposite half, rising around midnight. The last quarter is traditionally a time for review, forgiveness and clearing space before the next cycle.

Bring it into your practice

Twists and forward folds are traditionally associated with release. Move slowly and let each exhale be long.
