Bend So You Don’t Break: A 4-Day Lunar Resilience Journey

Published on May 14, 2026 at 11:59 AM

The energy is shifting. This Saturday, May 16th, as the Taurus New Moon graces the sky at 3:01 PM, we begin a journey of grounding, flexibility, and reclaimed power.

​I am thrilled to invite you to the #TheBendDontBreakChallenge, a four-day yoga and mindfulness experience designed to celebrate the upcoming release of my memoir, Alchemy of Bone and Petal.

The Heart of the Challenge

​In the pages of my story, I explore the transition from the restrictive "Ward" to the expansive "Grove"—a path that required learning how to adapt without losing my essence. This challenge mirrors that evolution. We will move through four specific poses, beginning with the deep grounding of the New Moon and rising with the momentum of the Waxing Crescent.

The Roadmap

​Starting Saturday morning, I will be sharing daily reminders and rituals, followed by afternoon pose instructions and "no-face" visual guides:

  • Day 1 (Saturday): The Root. We begin with a Seated Butterfly Fold to honor the Taurus New Moon’s call for quiet intention.
  • Day 2: The Perspective. As the crescent sliver appears, we find our "bend" with a Side-Body Seated Stretch.
  • Day 3: The Strength. We build our foundation using a Bound Triangle Variation, focusing on structural integrity.
  • Day 4: The Ascent. We culminate in Wild Thing, a heart-opening bloom that symbolizes standing tall in your own power.

Join the Alchemy & Win

​This isn't just about movement; it’s about community and ritual. By participating, you have a chance to bring a piece of the Moondust and Ember magic into your own home.

How to Participate:

  1. Post a photo of yourself in the daily pose. Whether you show your face or prefer a "no-face" silhouette like mine, all expressions of resilience are welcome.
  2. Use the hashtag #TheBendDontBreakChallenge.
  3. Check in daily for morning rituals to set your mindset before we move.

The Prize:

One participant will be chosen to receive a signed copy of Alchemy of Bone and Petal and our signature Sovereign Hearth Ritual Candle.
