Welcome to Wintering: Yin Yoga for Winter Solstice

This is for those long, star-filled afternoons when the sky darkens by 4 PM, and you wake the next morning to greet the same stars you only just bid goodnight to on last night’s commute home. I hope this practice helps guide you through the darkest day, as we emerge—slowly but surely—second by second, into the light once more.

On the 21st of December, we arrive at Winter Solstice, the darkest day of the year. Despite this time often being incredibly chaotic, there is immense value in taking a little time for oneself. Solstice invites us—and I invite you—to pause, reflect, and prepare for the return of the light. I hope you enjoy this Winter Solstice Yin Yoga practice.

May it offer you the opportunity to rest, renew, and reflect as you turn inward and mirror the stillness of nature at this time of year. This stillness becomes a container for you to align with the solstice’s invitation—a call to rest deeply and contemplate the transformation that renewal and reflection can bring into your life.
