Nature & Nidra: Transitioning from Spring to Summer

Saturday, June 17, 2023
Location:
Lighthouse Yoga Center
In-Person
$48 general/$39 members
2:00 to 4:30 pm, in-person
Join us as we shift from the spring, the season of rebirth, to summer, the season of action. We will practice a short energizing pranayama and asana set, followed by a yoga nidra. Nidra is guided meditation which takes you through the pancha maya kosha (five layers of self), leaving you with a sense of enoughness. There is no wrong way to practice Nidra. We will get comfortable in the studio and use props to offer ourselves space to explore whatever we need in the moment. Nidra promotes deep rest and relaxation, calms the nervous system, reduces stress and promotes better healing - a wonderful way to spend your Saturday afternoon.

Juneteenth National Independence Day and also known as Jubilee Day, Emancipation Day, Freedom Day, and Black Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans. As we acknowledge this historic day of "freedom and liberation," let us also re-examine our own liberation of body, mind, and spirit as African-Americans, Indigenous peoples, women, men, non-binary, parents, business owners, marginalized humans. Let's come together with the intention of honoring our ancestors,
carrying on the tradition of calling their names, pouring libation,
prayer, chanting, meditation, and dancing with kundalini yoga. The
intention of healing any trauma is a practice, for it isn't performed
for a day or a season. It is a daily practice.

The solstice marks the longest and shortest day of the year. The word solstice is derived from; ("sun") ("to stand still"), because the Sun appears to "stand still during the solstices. After the solstice, the sun's daily path, as observed from earth reverses direction.
We will take this opportunity to go within, connecting our psyche with our planet and celestial universe. Taking a cue from the sun, we will take a moment to pause, reflect and recalibrate with our higher purpose. In this ritual, we will connect with a practice held dear by many cultures across the planet since ancient times.
