Join Erin for a Winter Solstice ceremony by candlelight. Opening with an immersive breathwork and meditation experience, we will set our Sankalpa for the new year. After which a restorative and therapeutic practice will help release blocks, ground the system and leave you feeling clear, relaxed and inspired. The winter solstice signifies rebirth, regeneration, and new beginnings. Let’s come together to honor the natural cycle, emerging with new found clarity and inspiration.

Take a sacred pause on the shortest day of the year for a journey of breath, body and spirit, as we complete old cycles and set a Sankalpa for the new year. Sankalpa refers to the act of setting an intention, which can be a word, vision, mantra, or anything else that helps set the theme for your curiosity and choices.

This candlelit ceremony will open with an immersive experience of meditation and breathwork that will activate and then ground your system, bringing your body and spirit into alignment. We will complete the ceremony with a restorative practice, filled with therapeutic and somatic movements, and long held stretches that will release any residual blocks. 

You may find that glimmers of inspiration and insight come up throughout the ceremony, and you are encouraged to bring a journal and pen, to jot them down.

About erin:

Yoga became a key part of Erin’s life when she was 13 years old, struggling to manage the pressure of performing above and beyond in every aspect of her life.
The mat became her safe space to heal and honor how she felt over how she performed.
Informed by her experience as a personal trainer, and almost 10 years of teaching yoga, her classes invite the student into a practice of curiosity.
Students can expect mindful movements with great detail to form and intention, a nurturing space to honor their body over anything else, and a connection to core, whether it’s through simple breath work or fiery core work, depending on the class style.
Come ready to feel, and receive permission to be exactly as you are.
