Winter Solstice Sanctuary: A Journey inward with Gentle Flow & Harp-Guided Yoga Nidra
Honor the longest night of the year and the sacred turning of the seasons in this deeply
restorative and symbolic practice. The winter solstice invites us to turn inward, rest in the
darkness, and prepare for the return of the light. This unique session offers a sanctuary to
embrace that natural rhythm.
Robin will lead you through a mindful, meditative Gentle Flow yoga practice. Moving in
harmony with the natural transition of the solstice, this slow flow is designed to gently release
the physical stagnation of winter, focusing on grounding postures and fluid movements that
honor the body’s need for warmth and introspection.
The journey continues as we transition to the floor for a guided Yoga Nidra, the ancient practice
of "yogic sleep." Nestled in supported rest, you will be guided through a systematic process of
conscious relaxation, inviting deep rest to the nervous system.
Diane will provide live, therapeutic sounds of the harp that will gently guide your movements,
creating a deeply immersive environment. The integration of harp therapy with yoga, offers a
powerful synergy of benefits that go beyond standard practice. The harp's unique acoustic
qualities and the therapist's skilled application enhance physical, emotional, and mental well-
being.
By moving through the gentle darkness of the practice, you will emerge feeling profoundly
rested, centered, and realigned with the quiet power of nature's cycle. This class is a perfect
ritual for self-care, offering a sacred space to release the old year and welcome the light of the
new one.
