sagittarius november 21 - december 20

 
Traditional body zodiac correlations tell us that Sagittarius rules the hips. I love hip opener poses. They reach in and free up all kinds of tension from the psoas and other important muscles, and they feel great. But I didn’t know they would shift my entire perspective and reshape a pesky relationship...  

It all started because hip openers are a personal favorite of mine, and since my students always enjoy them too, it got me wondering what makes these poses so special. 

I set an intention that something would be revealed, a door would open, and then I did Yogastrology® for Sagittarius (the zodiac sign for freedom - inner as well as in the world) - about 10 minutes of hip openers. My hips felt better right away - warmer, looser, more free. That evening my body was noticeably more comfortable, even after several hours of sitting at the computer.

But the second day... wow. Deep in half pigeon pose Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana (pictured here) a burden I'd been carrying suddenly dissolved. 

I'd been feeling sad - let down by somebody whose friendship mattered a great deal to me, and it hurt. Then deep in the pose - not thinking about anything, just focusing on my right hip - all of a sudden it became obvious: My friend was simply living her life. I had been taking things personally and making myself sad as a result. The angst evaporated. I was free to love and accept my friend - and myself. I felt light and clear, and much, much freer. 

That day, I embodied the freedom that comes when we “Take Nothing Personally” - and I liked it. Unexpectedly my perspective was reshaped, and a good friendship was back on track. Yoga led the way. 

Sagittarius is hip opener time. Do these poses, see how freedom in your body translates into freedom in your life. Yoga for Sagittarius, 99 cents on iTunes.

With love,
