Happy Winter Solstice

Wishing you a happy Winter Solstice, and a joyful return to the light.

Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is travelled by dark feet and dark wings. In our mechanized world, in which we can turn the lights on at all hours, we can forget the sweetness of the dark itself, its calm, wisdom and mystery.  Mary Oliver

Yoga Nidra Series

As we move towards the darker days of Winter, it’s an ideal time for us to draw inwards and take time to rest and renew. If you would like to develop a regular restful practice, you could explore Yoga Nidra.

Yoga Nidra, or Yogic Sleep, encourages the body to deeply rest, and is a chance to settle the body and still the mind. If you would like to find out more, have a look out my Yoga Nidra page,  and get in touch if you’d like to sign up.

Namaste,
