December is here, as is the snow here in Klamath Falls. With this shift in season, from fall to winter, brings the internal shift you’ve been subtly feeling as the winter months draw closer and closer.

Can you sense your body slowing down – even just a little?

Or maybe a yearning for your body and your schedule to slow down to match the season?

This internal shift is cyclical and necessary. We are naturally creatures who require times for rest, and reflection, and dormancy.

In Yoga and Ayurveda, this transition into winter can be made a little easier with a number of different practices, including one that will be guided for you this month at Sol Luna Yoga.

Embody this winter season and allow your body to guide you through as you practice ways to tune in and listen.

Winter Solstice, December 21, marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. It is a turning point in seasons, where we reach the darkest point before the days begin to get longer and the journey towards light begins again. Internally and externally we similarly go through these cycles of duality, of darkness and light. Some days are chaotic and messy and disorganized and it feels overwhelming and scary and never ending. But then there’s a turning point, a change in the mundane, in mindset, in skill, and everything feels like it flows better, easier.
