Then, we will begin to move through gentle poses to welcome the coming light while paying homage to the spark that always exists within us shining our way through the healing of our shadows.Ĭome as you are. In our practice together, we will set an intention for the coming season and will honor the darkness within through restorative postures and meditation. The earth's cycles remind us that going in and examining our own shadow side is the only way we can truly be free. It marks the return of the sun and the beginning of longer days of sunlight, reminding us of the eternal interplay between darkness and light in both nature and in our selves.

In this mini retreat, we will create conditions to rest deeply in this sacred pause using slow flow yoga, meditation, and restorative poses that will calm your body, clear your mind, and open your heart. It is a very powerful time to pause and reconnect with your own innate luminosity and spaciousness. For after the long dark evening of the winter solstice, the sun experiences a rebirth it waxes in power and daylight hours begin to grow longer again. In Latin, the meaning of solstice is the "sun set still." Historically, many cultures honor the solstice as a time to acknowledge the cycle of life and death, death and rebirth our greatest contraction and expansion. Cozying up to a fire with tea and a warm blanket sounds divine as the nights are long and the hours of daylight short.
Taking time to prepare for the winter solstice and holiday season in this way can deepen your sense of wholeness and wellness throughout the season. The Winter Solstice marks the beginning of a season that brings cold snow and rain to many parts of the United States. We will practice some basic Yin postures, some moderate Hatha yoga. Join us for a deep dive into the sacred pause, where we will weave together practices that harmonize our bodies, minds, and spirits in order to return to our natural warmth, connectedness, and spaciousness. This practice will allow us the opportunity to go within to, rest, reflect and rejoice. A Mini Retreat to Pause, Restore, Reconnect, and Return
