We are continuing to set intentions in every yoga practice and to push you through your workouts with monthly themes. We found inspiration through our favourite yogis, mentors, and experts, and determined the perfect monthly theme for June.
The astrological sign for the majority of June is Gemini (May 21st to June 20th). The symbol for Gemini is twins, and they are known to be very imaginative, intellectual, and creative.
In Roman mythology, this same timeframe is personified by Mercury, known to be quick, curious and clever.
In Chinese medicine, this time of year is associated with the fire element, known to symbolize transformation, movement, energy and power. They believe that at this time of year, we should spend time with friends because fire is linked to social connectivity.
Considering all of this, our theme for June is “come together and be inspired”.
Additionally, in Ayurvedic medicine, we are in the Pitta Season, which can be very hot. It is recommended to stay out of the sun during Pitta time (10am to 2pm) to avoid getting too hot, and to practice restorative yoga and cooling breathing exercises. As you’re working toward those summer bodies, be sure to mix in some Yogasana or Roll & Relax!
