Summer Solstice Yoga + Playlists

17 Jun

The summer solstice is when the sun is at its furthest point from the equator, making it the longest day of the year. It’s a time to celebrate the longest day of the year and the peak of solar energy.

It’s also a halfway point to look at how far you’ve come this year and where you are headed to next.

Summer to me means light, vibrance, joy & fun. Nature is in full bloom all around us and we can use that energy to lift us up too. In our yoga practise we will focus on these different elements incorporating pranayama and centering around the solar plexus and core energy work.

“People have always looked up at the sun with wonder and gratitude. From earliest times, the sun has been recognized as the source of warmth and light…The sun was so important to ancient people, it was sometimes viewed as a god. People wanted to celebrate the day when the sun was at its highest point in the sky – the summer solstice.”
