Embodying Courage, Creativity & Heart-Centred Community this week at Serenity Space as we Approach the Full Moon in Leo on 1st February.

Can you feel the mood changing this week? Three days before and after every full moon, we have an opportunity to shine a light on those parts of us that need a little upgrade. On 1st February, the Full Moon rises in 13° Leo, illuminating the sky with bold, heart-led energy and inviting us to step fully into our truth. Leo, ruled by the Sun, asks us to shine — not for validation, but from a place of authenticity, courage, and love. This Full Moon is a potent moment to reconnect with joy, creative expression, and the inner fire that fuels our purpose.

At Serenity Space in London SW18, we honour this lunar moment through conscious movement and gathering in community— because Leo reminds us that we are not meant to dim ourselves, nor walk our paths alone.

The Astrology: Heart Over Fear

A Full Moon represents culmination, clarity, and release. With the Moon in Leo, emotions are amplified around themes of:

• Self-expression and creativity

• Visibility and confidence

• Inner child healing

• Leading from the heart rather than the ego

Opposite Leo sits Aquarius energy, reminding us that while our individuality matters, it is strengthened through community, collaboration, and shared vision. This lunation asks:

• Where am I holding back my light?

• How can I express myself more courageously — for the good of myself and the collective?

Embodying Leo Through Yoga Asana

Leo is a fire sign connected to the heart, spine, and solar plexus. Yoga practices aligned with this Full Moon focus on opening the chest, strengthening the back body, and cultivating confident, expansive energy.

Heart-Opening & Empowering Asanas

Backbends & Chest Openers;

• Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) — awakening the heart and spine

• Ustrasana (Camel Pose) — courageously opening the chest and throat

• Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) — balancing vulnerability with strength

Strong, Radiant Postures

• Virabhadrasana II (Warrior II) — embodying confidence and presence

• Navasana (Boat Pose) — igniting inner fire and self-belief

• Tadasana with Heart Lift — grounding while standing tall in your truth

Playful, Creative Movement

Leo thrives on joy. Allow space for intuitive flow, dance-like transitions, or even moments of laughter and lightness in your practice.

Journalling prompts for the Leo Full Moon

The Full Moon is a powerful time for release and realignment. Begin by grounding — perhaps seated with one hand on the heart, one on the belly — and reflect on the following prompts:

• What does my heart want to express right now?

• Where have I been shrinking or silencing myself?

• What would it feel like to fully own my gifts?

You may wish to journal or create a Sankalpa ( heartfelt vow) to embody the Leo essence:

• I release fear around being seen and fully honour my authentic self.

• I allow joy, creativity, and confidence to move freely through me.

• I lead with love, courage, and integrity.

Close by visualising a warm, golden light radiating from your heart — expansive, generous, and unapologetically you.

The Power of Community at Serenity Space

Leo energy reminds us that while our light is personal, it shines brightest when reflected and witnessed by others. At Serenity Space, community is at the heart of everything we do — creating a safe, supportive environment where expression, healing, and connection are welcomed.

Our Full Moon and Sound Bath gatherings, yoga classes, and community catch-up events offer space to:

• Practise together in intentional, heart-led movement

• Share reflections and intentions in a grounded, non-judgemental setting

• Feel held, seen, and supported on your journey

In a world that often asks us to rush or perform, Serenity Space invites you to slow down, tune in, and remember that you belong — exactly as you are.

A Final Reflection

This Full Moon in Leo is an invitation to come home to your heart. To move with courage. To express without apology. To gather in spaces that celebrate your light rather than ask you to dim it.

As we come together at Serenity Space in SW18, may we honour both our individuality and our shared humanity — rising, glowing, and evolving together.

With love,
