The Universe Called

Fall in love again and again

Join Nat and Court as they return from their hiatus with a very special guest, THE Tracee Stanley, to talk about all things ritual. How can we turn the mundane into magic under the light of this New Moon in Taurus? We talk about manageable magic with micro rituals that are the domain of the householders, why ritual is more important than ever in a world that feels so disconnected and unreliable, and how practice is a ritual that grounds us in our bodies. This is not an episode you will want to miss. So make yourself a cup of tea, get cozy, make us a part of your ritual for this New Moon. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself

New Moon, who dis? It’s a Capricorn New moon and it’s giving Big Daddy energy- Nat and Court go hard into the themes of Capricorn and its ruler Saturn. It’s time for a wakeup call: where are we “checking out” in our lives and what needs refinement? The first teaching of Kriya yoga, the yoga of change, is tapas- discipline, contrary action, and austerity. Using this teaching on and off the mat- we dig into the practice of Vinyasa Flow- these linked postures show up in most of our classes, but they’re the poses we often overlook when it comes to proper alignment and safety. We break down the postures and common mistakes we see, and make suggestions on how to explore these poses with more knowledge and confidence. So the next time your teacher says, “Flow through your vinyasa,” you got that shit down. And, use your tapas as a tool to set intention for this first new moon of the year.

There's no place like home

Join Nat and Court for the first lunation of the New Year - with the sun in cardinal earth sign Capricorn, we have steadiness to start where we are, and build on what we have already learned. We cut through that bullshit of “New Year, New Me”, and focus on what is true - we are growing, not starting over. This full moon in Cancer reflects the energy and need to nurture and care for the moment. This episode explores the pose Tadasana aka Mountain Pose- and looks beyond what it may seem-- it’s more than standing, y’all! Let’s get back to the basics, stand in our strength, balance our effort and ease, and give ourselves what we need most - comfort and consistency. With Venus, Mercury, and Mars in Capricorn, the Universe has our back to get shit done - we promise it isn’t boring, it’s necessary. Learn more about your ad choices.

I see it, I want it

Warm things up after the Mercury Retrograde shadow ends with this fiery new moon in Sagittarius. Known as the wild Centaur who carries a bow and arrow–he uses the gaze to focus where to aim.  In our yoga practice, we can use the tool of drishti to focus the mind and stay in the present. Join Nat and Court as they investigate the expansive themes of freedom and liberation. Why put limits on yourself, honey? You are unlimited (says Jupiter, Sagittarius ruling planet)! This is the perfect new moon to close out the year. Reflect on where you’ve been, decide where you wanna go, aim high and prepare for bliss, babes. Learn more about your ad choices.

There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in

The Sun moves into the expansive sign of Sagittarius and the moon is shining brightly in the busy-minded Gemini. Join Nat and Court as they explore the story behind Vashistasana as a way to use the Mercury-ruled Gemini to lead us to our greater purpose. Discussions around philosophy feels on-brand for Sagittarius season and breaking down things into bite sized pieces appeases the Gemini moon. So if you’re a little all-over-the place, sit your ass down and listen to this episode. And if you can’t sit still, see how long you can hold a plank–side plank that is!
