Sagittarius Full Moon Mudra: choose your direction, find freedom in truth, and embody your joy
Welcome to the Sagittarius Full Moon:
The Sagittarius Full Moon invites you to choose your direction, bravely, honestly, and adventurously. This lunation brings illumination to where you are heading, what is and isn't your truth, and the joy that is yours to claim along the way. Sagittarius asks you to pull back the bow and trust yourself and your aim. When the wisdom of where you have been meets the curiosity of where you could go, you become someone who lives her freedom from the inside out. Let this moon support a sacred unfolding into a life that is honestly, joyfully yours.
Our featured Uttarabodhi Mudra embodies this awakened Sagittarius energy, a hand shape for chosen direction, freedom in truth, and embodied joy. This mudra anchors your awareness into truth, releasing what isn't yours to carry, so your direction and your joy can move forward naturally. You could also pair this practice with the reflections and embodiment practices in the Sagittarius Full Moon Embodied Workbook if you'd like to work more intentionally with this lunar energy.
And if you'd like to move through the lunar cycles in community, our memberships are here for you. We hold safe space through live studio and virtual classes, new and full moon workbooks, astrological season practices, and an ever-growing library of on-demand content. Check out ways to practice mudras and more with our empowering yoga community on our live class schedule.
Above all, Katrina Marie Yoga is a space to practice, reflect, and remember that your direction is yours to choose. Your truth is yours to live. Your joy is yours to claim. You are allowed to point your life in whatever direction you choose.
So take what you need and leave what you don't. Perhaps for now, begin by aligning with the energy of the Sagittarius Full Moon through the following mudra and the tools that accompany it.
🫶🏻Practice Uttarabodhi Mudra:
WHEN:
Around the Sagittarius Full Moon, when the moon illuminates themes of chosen direction, freedom in truth, and embodied joy. This is a potent time to notice what you have been heading toward without really choosing — old agendas, inherited paths, half-truths — and what is ready to be released so your real direction can move through you.
WHY:
The Sagittarius Full Moon invites you to choose your direction with honesty and courage, live your truth out loud, and let joy live fully in your body. Uttarabodhi Mudra supports clarity, courage, and the steady awakening of your inner direction, supporting you in releasing what is not yours to carry and reconnecting to the joy and truth that live inside of you.

HOW:

Soften your shoulders and align your spine.
BREATHE:
Inhale through your nose in three long, equal parts with gentle pauses between each one.
Direct the first to expand your belly, the second to expand your ribs, and the third to expand your collarbones.
Pause at the top of each inhale, fully awakened and expanded.
Exhale through your nose fully and completely.
Pause briefly at the bottom before inhaling in three pieces again.
Continue for 1 to 3 minutes.
MANTRA:
Repeat silently or aloud:
I choose the direction of my adventurous life.
I find my freedom in the truth I dare to live.
I let joy live fully in my body and spirit.
EMBODY YOUR RELEASE:
When your practice feels complete, release control of your breath and sit with the hand shape as you reflect. Notice what shifts as you allow what isn't yours to soften and your own truth to be seen for what it is.
Let the Sagittarius Full Moon illuminate what is ready to be released — the directions that were never really yours, the half-truths you have been carrying, or the places where joy has not yet been given room to take up all its space. Allow your truth to take the place of the beliefs you inherited from outside of yourself. Feel it in your body.
Invite your breath to settle. Invite your body to soften. Invite your joy to unfold.
As you release, may you remember that your joy is not a reward you have to earn — it is yours to live the moment you choose it.
May this Sagittarius Full Moon remind you that you are allowed to choose your direction, live your truth out loud, and let your joy take up all its space.
