"I love the dark hours of my being. My mind deepens into them. There I can find, as in old letters, the days of my life, already lived, and held like a legend, and understood.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke
Winter Solstice is an energetic pivot point in the natural year, inviting us to exhale, tend the inner heart(h), and practice pratyahara, a turning inward that is fundamental to our well-being and growth according to yogic tradition.
As the seasons shift, I'm delighted to share bespoke yoga practices offered exclusively to The Guest House community.
These classes are a gift of thanks for your support and a space for us to deepen together in body, breath, and awareness.
Our inaugural practice will honor the Winter Solstice — that potent moment when the year's longest night gives way to a returning light.
PRACTICING IN THE DARK HOURS | A YOGA CLASS FOR WINTER SOLSTICE
In yogic tradition, winter is a time for pratyahara, a quiet turning inward. Darkness, while often misunderstood, holds profound gifts: stillness, reflection, and the fertile ground of all beginnings.
With a yoga practice elegantly designed to align with the renewal of light, we'll meditate on the fertility of darkness, embody tender wisdom within our bodies, and remember the warm presence that always abides beneath the surface of our busy lives.
