As the summer solstice approaches, I’d like to invite you to embark on a transformative yoga experience that honors the radiant energy of the sun and celebrates the ancient traditions of Litha also known as the Summer Solstice. Introducing "Radiant Sun: A Trauma-Informed Summer Solstice Yoga Journey" – a class designed to guide you on a journey of gentle movement, meditation, restoration, intention-setting yoga nidra practice, and a community toast to the longest day of the year.
🌺 Embrace Trauma-Informed Healing: As a trauma-informed instructor, I work to create a brave and nurturing space for all participants, prioritizing your well-being throughout the entire class. I weave trauma-informed principles into every aspect of the practice, ensuring a supportive environment for your yoga journey.
🌿 Gentle and Restorative Movement: Unwind and rejuvenate with gentle yoga poses that encourage deep relaxation and release tension. The carefully curated sequence blends heart-opening postures, slow flows, and restorative poses to help you slow down, reconnect with your body, and find inner balance.
✨ Meditations and Yoga Nidra: Immerse yourself in guided meditations that invite you to explore your inner knowing and connect with the transformative energy of the summer solstice. Experience the profound relaxation and rejuvenation of yoga nidra, a powerful practice for healing and self-discovery.
🌞 The Summer Day by Mary Oliver: Be inspired by the timeless wisdom of Mary Oliver's renowned poem, "The Summer Day." Through poignant verses, we'll reflect on the beauty of life, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the importance of embracing our one precious life.
🌼🥂 Indulge in the symbolic essence of Elderflower. After our transformative practice, we'll raise a glass of an Elderflower drink (or water) in community celebration. The Elderflower represents wisdom, transformation, and the sun's energy, perfectly embodying the spirit of the summer solstice. Toast to growth and blooming with us, honoring our inner radiance and the unity we share as a community. 🌿🌞🌸
