If you want to keep up your yoga practice in this warm weather, why not join me for Wednesday morning’s Yin/Yang class, combined with a cooling breath work session?

A Yin/Yang class can be particularly enjoyable because:

* The warm environment may help you move more comfortably during the Yang portion.
* The Yin section provides a cooling, grounding counterbalance.
* You get the energizing effects of movement without spending the entire class in a high-intensity practice.

A few mat spaces available.

☀️ At the Summer Solstice, nature reminds us to slow down and appreciate the light, warmth and abundance around us.

Whether through yoga, meditation, a mindful walk or simply sitting quietly outdoors, this is a beautiful time to reconnect with ourselves and the natural world.

Take a moment to breathe deeply, feel the sun on your skin, and embrace the energy of the season. Small moments of mindfulness can bring clarity, balance and a renewed sense of gratitude.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and joyful Solstice season. 🌿✨
