🌕 The September Full Moon is here!

Energy is rising, the night sky glows, and this is a perfect moment to pause, reflect, and realign. 🌿 What are you ready to release—old habits, lingering stress, or anything that no longer serves your growth? The Full Moon invites stillness, surrender, and gentle letting go.

✨ Use this lunar energy to reconnect with your goals, nurture your body, and honor your mind with a moment of calm and reflection. Light a candle, take a deep breath, or flow through a gentle sequence to balance your energy.

💛 Your action for today: Write down one thing you’re releasing and one intention you’re planting for the next cycle. Share it below or hold it in your heart—either way, claim this moment for yourself.

🌟 Step onto your mat, embrace the moon’s energy, and let this Full Moon guide your transformation. Comment your release + intention and join our community in celebrating growth together!
