Continuing on in our zodiac series, here's our Cancer yoga practice. I've decided to go with yin yoga for this theme as I wanted us to connect deeply with the energy of the sacral/svadhistana chakra and heart/anahata chakra. Cancer is a cardinal water sign that relates to deep feeling. I love to think of the expression "feel it to heal it"
It's associated with the archetype of the Nurturer or the Mother. This isn't only about nurturing others, but also nurturing the self. It connects to our relationship with home & family and the inner most sanctum of the heart. Cancer signs can be very emotional but they have deep potential for unconditional love and compassion. This is a gift! Their shadow side can include clinginesss, moodiness or manipulation.
This 30 minute yin yoga practice is suitable for all levels and will use 2 blocks. We will focus on poses that open up our hips and our upper body in order to free up stagnant emotions and tap into deep feeling centers. Since Cancer is the nurturer, I want this practice to be super nurturing for your physical and emotional body. We will be in each pose for 3-4 minutes so remember not to push yourself too far. We are not chasing sensation, we want to be able to relax deeply.
Affirmations for Cancer:
- My capacity for love is endless
- I am in tune with my needs
- I balance giving and receiving
Whether you believe in astrology or not, you are welcome here! It can be fun to fuse our practice with meaning and symbolism through different lenses and perspectives. These themes allow us to connect with different parts of ourselves and can help us grow. Don't take yourself too seriously and just have fun with it!

Thank you for all the zodiac yoga sessions. Such another level to connect with mind, body, and soul!

[@sweetmusicwoman984]

My uncle was a Cancer. He passed away June 21, 2020 before he could have his birthday on July 7th. Every year since then has been hard around this time. Doing this practice was therapeutic and something I’ll keep coming back to every year at this time. Thank you.

[@intuitively_designed3340]

I resonate with this deeply my father was a cancer birthday July 7th and he passed December 2020, this was so therapeutic for me as well. I am able to connect to this strong protective ♋️ energy in a new way! I miss him so much!! My heart is filled with gratitude 🙏🏽. I’m sending you all the love and kindness I can as we get through this period. And thank you Kasandra!! For all you do!!

[@deann7541]

my birthday is July 7 too. every bit of a cancer.

[@la_china_cocina]

My birthday is July 7 too. Prays for your loved ones who passed and whose bday is this day❤

[@bonsaiky]

As a Cancer person, I have to say that I always cry during yin yoga, it is so healing. This lotus mudra is incredible beautiful, thank you. My chart is all water and fire. I feel so deeply, and Cancer people also need a shoulder to cry on.

[@MagisterialVoyager]

Oh my gods, I thought I was the only one! I wept several times after yoga, too.

[@griffinkirkland9087]

@bonsaiky what's yin yoga I just do yoga

[@bonsaiky]

@@griffinkirkland9087 yin yoga is a type of yoga where you maintain the same pose for longer, it has less movement but allows you to go deeper into the pose and within.

I'm a Cancer and it's my birthday today! I saved this practice so I could do it today as a birthday treat and a treat it was indeed! I loved the affirmations, and the reframing of Cancer as a nurturer of the self as well as of others. Thank you Kassandra!

[@janettorres73]

Thank you, Kassandra! This was a powerful and much needed session. I’m so happy I selected it. I loved the affirmations. This practice helped me have an awareness about something recent and confirmed for me an intuition. I made a low-ball offer at my neighbor’s yard sale last weekend, and while she accepted my offer, it came with a comment that’s been lingering. Today I will practice a balance of giving and receiving by sending a gift card with a greeting card congratulating them on their new home and letting them know how much I have valued them as my neighbors. 💕

[@lysanicole]

I'm a Cancer (sun & ascending) and have (finally) become the embodiment of a healthy Cancer. Thank you for this beautiful practice. 🙏💞

This helped me so much today. After recuevng another push away.. Realizing another step further away from my loved one. The one that I loved most and wanted to spend my life with... But it wasn't the right thing for him. He left. And even he is ready to see someone new.. While I am still so sad and scared... Thank you for being with me in this and especially for your last words as I constantly feel, I should heal faster.

[@vivimar255]

Cancer season and this yin flow was so realizing and heartful! Wow the lotus blossom mudra amazing.My first exposure to this , I am grateful for having found it.

This was my first practice back at it after months of not doing yoga. As a cancer and with this specific yin yiga for cancer sign, beautifull affimations im am back at it as i need to nurture myself more this year. If you read this know this year will be great for us, lets work hard for it!

[@juliabrown1674]

Hi thank you for this. I am a true cancer with it in my first 5 houses. You described me to a T. I was not so at home with a Yin practice and was very fidgety during the poses. Some of which was body discomfort. Child's pose and puppy pose particularly. But I will try again. It didn't help that it is 37c today and even with Aircon on yoga turned to Hot yoga 😂

[@paulafioritti6284]

i'm a cancer and i cried a lot during this practice, which i do believe is a good thing! :) thank you!!

[@ashleerenee7489]

I’m a Pisces. My Jupiter is in Cancer. It’s in my third house. My body has really benefited from this practice and wow I’m so emotional. I really enjoy listening to your introductions to these Zodiac practices. Thank you ❤

Thank you, Kassandra❤. It was a nourishing practice for me.

[@resourcefulpeacock6407]

This is my first zodiac yoga so I wasn't sure what to expect and I loved it! I struggle with yin because it feels like "i'm not doing anything" - i'm not building muscle or toning or strengthening or any kind of measurable outcome. it's going to take an adjustment to my expectations so I can accept this kind of practice as "worthwhile" for my routine. This class went along way toward that, thank you!

[@malinfarlind1382]

Cancer moon here and I feel things very deeply. this released so many emotions thank you 🩵🌙 ♋

[@TheIriereggaefan]

Thanks for this practice Kassandra. I really enjoyed it as a cancer sign. I instituted a Friday morning yoga practice at my job and have standardized watching your videos for the small group of yogis. I have since left that job but still keep in touch with my coworkers that enjoyed working through your videos. As I still continue to watch and perform your videos, your presence has helped with consistency as I move on into new areas of my life. Thanks for doing what you do!
