Greet the Sun
The summer solstice marks the first day of summer, when the sun reaches the highest point in the sky. The day is long, and the night is short. The sun is most potent on the summer solstice and is recognized as a time of powerful healing.
The summer solstice is an opportunity to rejuvenate your spirit and reconnect with yourself and the natural world by creating solstice rituals where we linger in the power of the longest, lightest day of the year.
End your solstice day with 108 sun salutations - surya namaskar. Surya means “sun” in sanskrit, while namaskar comes from nama “to bow down”. Sun salutations are a sequence of yoga poses (or asanas) that are typically performed at the beginning of a yoga flow class as a way to align oneself to the present and enter a meditative state. What could be more perfect in showing gratitude to the sun on the solstice than a sequence of poses that honor the center of light and provider of all energy on Earth?
Our Summer Solstice celebration will open with a guided meditation, then Christina will guide you through completing 108 Sun Salutations and we’ll finish with a 30 minute sound bath restorative yoga session led by Caroline and a complimentary glass of Anima Mundi Calm Iced Sweet Tea.
$10 for members/$30 for a drop-in. Also includes a lovely set of mala beads for the guided meditation.
