leo july 22 - august 22

 
Traditional body zodiac correlations tell us that Leo rules the spine. The spine is the center of yoga practice. And the sun (celestial body traditionally associated with Leo) is the center of the solar system. Sun... spine... the center of things... that is where Leo shines brightly.

The most significant energy channel in the subtle body – the sushumna – resides in the spine, and the physical body’s youthful vigor comes from having a limber and lithe spine. Get your spine moving in all 5 directions – see how juicy life can be!

	1.	Forward Bends: Lengthen the back of the spine; draw awareness inside. Enter what Rumi calls the jeweled inner world, the inner sanctum of your own majestic temple (yes indeed, your body is sacred).

	2.	Back Bends: Elongate the front of the body, open to receive life’s bountiful gifts.

	3.	Twists: Gently twist the torso –  soothe the mind and treat the spine to extraordinary rejuvenation.

	4.	Inversions:  When your head is below your heart, the whole world turns upside down. Invite this fresh new perspective.

	5.	Side Stretches: Like cosmic lovers, right and left sides need one another to feel complete. Stretch both sides – feel harmony and wholeness.
