Summer Solstice Celebration: A Yin Yoga Practice

The summer solstice, which falls on June 21 st this year, marks the longest day of the year and the first day of summer.  Solstice means sun standing still. 

The sun appears to pause on this day (spinning slower than any other time of year) and granting us the greatest length of sunlight than any other day of the year.   

We invite you to mimic the sun and…PAUSE! 

Join us on Friday evening, June 18th, as we practice stillness through yin yoga (a practice of mostly seated and reclined postures held for longer periods of time) and let the sun’s light fill us, helping us to feel refreshed and renewed.   Yin yoga is very meditative, yet effective in stretching the deep tissue connecting our muscles.

Date:  June 18th (Friday)

Time:  6:30-8:00pm

Cost:  $30/person; $25 (early bird before June 4th)

Total No. of Spots:  10

What to Bring:  Your Mat & Water!

MORE ABOUT YIN YOGA

This quiet and reflective practice is a great way to prepare our minds for the new season and let all the warm, joyous light of the sun, fill our souls.  In this workshop, participants will settle into each pose where it will be held for a

short amount of time. Each pose will be followed by some slow, gentle movements in preparation for the next pose. The workshop will conclude with a guided meditaion.  Yin targets the deep, connective tissues or fascia that surround the joints, bones, and muscles. During the yin practice, poses are held for longer periods of time in silence and stillness allowing time for the tissue to stretch and lengthen.  It is in this stillness, that your breath takes you inward allowing you to create space and sink deeper into the pose.
