Winter Solstice

I know a lot of us are feeling the lack of sunlight/daylight and looking forward to the longer days on the horizon.

Are you also resting more? Enjoying the dark in some way? Perhaps some shadow work or dream work? Savasana?

While many other mammals are hibernating, or about to, we are typically staying busy at this time of the year.

What if you gave yourself permission to do one less thing? Or a whole day of rest? It doesn’t have to mean sleep. Though it may be forced with sickness if we don’t allow for the cycles of rest.

The practice of yoga asana is incomplete without Savasana. We must honour the time for integration.

Along the same lines, I wanted to share another blog that I find profound… The Holy in Loss, by Toko-pa.

I hope you rest well tonight and that I’ll see you soon,

Alissa

PS I’m teaching Candlelight Yoga on December 24th and 31st (both Eves) from 4:30 - 5:30pm.
