Summer Solstice Celebration
Harness the energy of the Sun and celebrate the Summer Solstice.
The Summer Solstice is the official first day of summer and the time when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, making this the longest day (light) of the year.
On this day, we celebrate the nourishing light of the sun as well as bring awareness to the light that beams inside each of us.
By celebrating the Summer Solstice, you are awakening your spirit to absorb and find gratitude in the abundant energy of the sun. You also awaken the awareness within you, and your ability to harness the same power, build light within you, and shine your gifts out into the world.
By practicing Sun Salutations, you will salute the sun with gratitude, challenge your mental & physical body to awaken your power, and connect inward with your breath to energize and release this energy into the world.
This practice is both challenging and meditative and will show you that you are as powerful as the sun!
