How to Make the Most of the Frost Full Moon
The Energy of the Frost Full Moon
As autumn deepens and the air grows crisp, November’s Frost Full Moon shines a soft, silvery light over the turning season. Named for the first frosts of late fall, this moon marks a moment of stillness, a time to slow down, release what’s no longer needed, and prepare for winter’s inward rhythm.
In many traditions, the Frost Full Moon represents gratitude, completion, and reflection. It’s a natural opportunity to pause and reconnect with yourself before the rush of the holidays.
How Yoga Helps You Align with the Moon
Yoga and lunar cycles have long been linked through rhythm and awareness. Practicing yoga during the Frost Full Moon can help balance energy, deepen introspection, and create emotional clarity. The moon’s cooling, reflective qualities pair beautifully with a slower, grounding yoga practice, helping to quiet the mind and nurture the heart.
Here are a few ways to make the most of this magical full moon:
1. Reflect and Release
Take time to journal or meditate on what feels complete in your life. Ask yourself:
- What am I ready to release before the new season begins?
- What habits, thoughts, or patterns no longer serve me?
Let this moon’s light illuminate the lessons you’ve learned and the growth you’ve experienced.
2. Move with Intention
Gentle, grounding poses such as Child’s Pose (Balasana), Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana), or Low Lunge (Anjaneyasana) help you connect to the earth and soften the body. You might even take your practice near a window or outdoors under the moonlight to feel the rhythm of nature.
3. Practice Gratitude
The Frost Full Moon is also known as the Beaver Moon, a reminder of preparation and abundance. Use this time to reflect on what you’re grateful for. List three things that bring you joy or peace. Gratitude shifts energy, opens the heart, and reminds you of life’s fullness.
4. Join a Full Moon Yoga Practice
