About Event:
The Winter Solstice is when darkness peaks & daylight is at its shortest, signifying the start of winter before the cool skies gently invite in a subtle shift toward brighter days ahead. This astrological event is a symbol of the sun standing still at its lowest point, reminding us to see embrace the stillness, recharge, and spend time in reflection. The 2022 Solstice occurs on Wednesday, December 21.
108 Sun Salutations | $15
Wednesday, Dec 21 | 6a-8a
*Practice is included for members (no fee). You are welcome to join & retreat at your convenience while being conscious of opening centering & closing meditation.
Prepare your body and mind as we enter into the equinox. Join Shannon Sadoski and Alissa Newberg in full mala of (108) sun salutations. This practice is meant to honor and express gratitude for the sun’s cycle by warming up the body and concentrating on slow, intentional, and repetitive movement. Traditionally, 108 Sun Salutations are used in celebration. We will use this mala to focus on grounding the body and embracing the Winter Solstice, surrendering into a time of slowing down and regeneration.
We will move our practice through the chakra system from the Crown to Root to bring some grounding to this Winter transition.
We will practice chakra-centered affirmations during this practice, use the warming movements to connect intrinsically, and focus on deep breathing to clear the body & mind.
