Winter Solstice Practice with Annie Piper
Sunday, December 21 5-7 pm
$40
The Shala Ft. Greene
The winter solstice is viewed in many traditions as a moment of perfect balance. It is both the deep inward stillness and the beginning of the journey towards light. As we honor the planting of the seed of summer, we reckon with our own inner struggles and many journeys. it is a perfect time to set an intention for the new year and to synchronize your own life’s rhythm with nature’s.
This will be a slow, steady, deep and meditative practice. Long form asana flow, qigong, and 8 dedications based on the 8 limbs. Meditation to begin and end as we honor apex stillness.
Prayer. Share. Cacao. Now.
