 The new moon on February 13th is a wonderful time to start fresh and think about ways you can be more creative in your life. The way the planets are aligned right now may bring about a desire for change or the momentum to make strides to go in another direction.
There is a feeling of tentativeness that is looming and instead of forging boldly ahead; it is in our favor to find a comfortable rhythm that is grounding and stabilizing. Let go of big plans, agendas, and frustrations and use the creative, positive visioning process to find ways to reach your goals.  Saturn being in Virgo also inspires us to exercise a bit of discipline in finding balance at this time.  Make better use of your creativity, artistic skills, and even apply all of these aspects to improve your relationships.
The asana I have chosen for this time is a creative variation of Virabhadrasana II, the warrior. The wide, open stance is very grounding and stabilizing. The arms are moving in a rhythmic, flowing way through the centerline and out towards space. There is a feeling of freedom, of opening up to change, and a creative urge that rises up from the earth, through your whole body, and out through your hands. As you move your hands from one side to the other there is a rhythm where you begin to lose your head and open to change that takes you where you are meant to be going. Here in Crested Butte strong arms and hips are vital, and the length and opening of the side body enables us to get more prana (life force), to be, do, and create our magnificent reality.
