As we move into winter and the holiday season, it’s not uncommon to have a heightened experience of busy-ness. Along with winterizing tasks around the house, gatherings, card-writing, and gift-buying, we also navigate family dynamics, as well as the stressors that already exist in our daily lives. If we don’t balance this with some space and time to care for ourselves, we grow tense and cut off from the very light, warmth, and resources we need to nourish ourselves at this time.
As we are over-stimulating with seasonal activity, nature is actually “coming down” and turning inward. In the cold months, the earth stops producing and replenishes its energy reserves. Like the earth, we need to slow down, turn inward, and recharge instead of depleting our energy. If we align with nature, we will begin to sense that, as we head toward the darkest day of the year (and the days surrounding it), it provides us with a built-in invitation to slow down and restore.
In this practice series, we will turn inward, clear space, and tend to our inner hearth, rekindling our own light, so we can shine more brightly in our lives, for ourselves, our families, and our communities. We will weave together mindful slow vinyasa flows, restorative yoga, and deep relaxation—emphasizing internal observation, slow and dynamic movement, rhythmic breathing, and fully supported rest—to help harmonize ourselves with the season.
