Winter solstice occurs between December 20 and 22nd in the Northern hemisphere and June the 20 and 22nd in the Southern hemisphere. It represents the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Here we sink into the depths of darkness and most likely tiredness envelopes us. It is a perfect time of year to practice the rejuvenating restorative style of yoga. In this class we will focus on restorative yoga poses with props to renew our energy when the darkness and cold of winter envelopes us completely. Legs up the wall, restorative child’s pose, supported bridge pose and supported locust pose with draw your energy back into your kidney and adrenals, leaving your feeling refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to welcome the slow return of the light.
Props Needed: wall, 2 blocks, a bolster, eye pillow and blankets for this restorative yoga class for winter solstice.

[@nataliewilkins1463]

Thank you, Melissa for this timely practice and the particularly meaningful words you read. Ironically although I am currently in Australia so was experiencing the summer solstice, the extreme bushfire situation yesterday meant I was feeling low in multiple ways and this really helped. I hope some of the brave people fighting fires and defending their homes get a similar respite in the coming days and weeks. Namaste.

[@drmelissawest]

Dear Natalie, I have been speaking to some of my friends in Australia about the bushfires. I am sorry to hear of their devastation year after year. Summer solstice has its own burnout and exhaustion. I am glad that you found respite in this practice. Namaste, Melissa

First class with you for me, Dr West, and I loved it! Silly question, but is this an app that gives you this subtle sound when the time is up? I practice myself and I would love something like this that wouldn't make me pop up scared hahah - HSP here :)

Yes, it is...might have had it too loud :) HSP :)
