Yoga + Writing Classes

Winter Solstice Yoga & Writing 

Saturday December 20, 8am-10am EST

 

We’ll meet just before the Winter Solstice where in the northern hemisphere we experience the longest night of the year. What's beautiful about this day is not only that what's ahead is more light, but the opportunity to slow down, tune in, reflect and embrace the dark. Let's gather together to drop into our bodies and write. 

​

As usual, we will follow a structure something like this:

 

5-10 minute opening meditation

 

10-15 minute discussion/sharing (brief check in to see how we’re all arriving)

 

60 minute gentle yoga practice (combination of pranayama and asana with enough time in shapes to explore sensation, feeling, and subtlety and plenty of opportunity to personalize and adapt your practice from moment to moment)

 

20-30 minute guided writing (prompts will be offered but you’ll have the freedom to go in any direction with your writing - journal, doodle, storytell, reminisce, speculate, wonder, dream, envision, create, or follow wherever your practice takes you)
 

10 minute sharing (optional to share something you wrote, summarize or more generally share about your experience in the practices)

 

5 minute gratitude practice (we’ll end with gratitude as a way to extend our awareness and attention to the world around us and overall gratitude helps with feeling more connected and maybe even happier, making the weight feel more manageable)

This class is not to produce anything. Not to prove anything. Not to get better at a yoga pose. Not to write a novel. Not to make a masterpiece. Not to heal all your trauma. Maybe some of these will start to happen but this is a class for exploration, curiosity, joy, honesty and connection.
