The Lotus and the Stars

Birth of Astro-Yoga



We began our exploration of the points where yoga and astrology merge in the mid-1990s on a night of the full moon when Rob was planning to do the moon salutation and Trish was working on an astrology book called, Your Intuitive Moon. In the ensuing months, we discovered that although some yoga teachers referred to planetary influences, no practice existed that combined the two. So we proceeded to adapt many of the traditional postures in various yoga disciplines to the gamut of sun signs. Through trial and error, Astro-Yoga was born, and we eventually wrote: The Lotus and the Stars: The Way of Astro-Yoga. Now we also have a CD available.

Intuitively, we felt that Astro-Yoga had once existed in the distant past. As the saying goes, there's nothing new under the sun; everything that seems new is simply a redefinition of what has already been done. If that's the case, then we are pleased and honored to have had the opportunity to revive, or re-invent, an ancient practice.
