Winter Solstice marks the journey into winter. The solstice is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s the official start to winter, and the initiation of light returning to the sky as the days lengthen, bringing the promise of spring.  It’s a time to dive deep, celebrate, and refocus your direction for the season to come. Earth takes a journey into darkness to find true light. Winter marks the day the sun moves closer to Sagittarius and into Capricorn.  

Join myself and Courtney Bell for a melodic sound bath and restorative practice that will enliven all of your senses to embrace the winter season. This yoga class is a restorative sound bath.  During the solstice, Sagittarius energy has its final hurrah—a moment to celebrate what you’ve created in the previous year, and what you seek to create in the year to come. Capricorn energy then swoops in to focus you on the goals you seek to achieve, as well as opening you to a time of rest and retrospection as you look at how far you’ve come. These postures fall into alignment with the Sagittarius-Capricorn shifts in the zodiac that are the hallmark of this time. Sagittarius rules the hips and thighs and is related to the sacral chakra. These areas remind us we can create our lives by moving, exploring, and seeking what we most want to find. Capricorn relates to the root chakra - knees, and skeletal system. These areas remind us that we need to create a sense of stability within ourselves, taking time to prioritize work and rest, whichever is necessary in a given moment.

Balancing your energy can support your transition in the winter - into the dark and help you discover your true light.  With the proper balance of work and rest—especially this year, as some tricky astrological aspects surround the solstice—you can find a state of stability, restoration, and excitement for the season ahead.
