Download PDF (60 KB)All guides
A BLKMAT flow for the Capricorn Constellation mat. About 10 minutes. Read the safety note first.
Capricorn · Dec 22 – Jan 19 · traditional element: earth · modality: cardinal (traditionally, a sign that begins a season)
Your mat: The sea-goat's wide triangle in silver line inside a fine star-grid disc.
Capricorn, the sea-goat, is an earth sign associated with discipline and the steady climb. This is the strength flow: simple poses held with patience, with rest built in.
The zodiac is a theme here, not a prescription: any sign can do any flow, and nothing about your birth date changes what your body needs today.
