Summer Solstice
A Yoga & Ayurveda Workshop
Sunday 14th June
10:00am - 1:00pm
☀️ The Summer Solstice marks a time of abundance, radiance, and vitality. As the sun reaches its highest point and the earth basks in peak illumination, we are invited to celebrate our own inner fire, channeling this expansive energy into a sense of purpose, joy, and outward connection.
🌿 Ayurveda, often referred to as the "sister science of Yoga," is one of the world's oldest holistic healing systems. Originating in India and practiced for over 5,000 years, it is globally respected for its profound wisdom. The word ‘Ayurveda’ translates from Sanskrit as "the science of life."
☀️ This half-day workshop weaves together solar-powered Yoga, an honouring of the longest day and the seasonal wisdom of Ayurveda.
☀️ The Midsummer Altar: We honour the elements—Fire for transformation and Water for creativity and emotional balance.
☀️Leave feeling radiant, purposeful, and deeply aligned with the rhythms of nature.
