The Winter Solstice arrives in the northern hemisphere early on the morning of December 21st this year. It is the shortest day of the year, and a very powerful time to come into a sacred ritual and practice to honour the return of the light and the first day of winter. We will be honouring this day with celebration and ceremony on Thursday, December 18th.

This is the perfect time to go inward to move slower, do less and bring some more ritual into your life. Just when it feels like we could just descend completely into darkness – the Light returns with the birth of the Sun.

On the Winter Solstice, the Light begins to return. From here the days will continue to grow longer, brighter, warmer until the Sun is strong enough to return life to everything in nature, including us, as we are nature. Now is the time to celebrate, honour the light within us all and the light surrounding us all.

May this winter season fill your days with cozy moments and joyful memories. Come Join Lena Watt of Inner Compass Yoga & Ayurveda for a special Winter Solstice evening filled with love, light, laughter, movement, gifts, discussion, gong bath, connection and a warm cup of cacao. We will end circle with warm tea and seasonal snacks and a beautiful closing circle.

Releasing Perfectionism Through Yoga and Ayurveda

Let this be the season you choose presence, flow, and love over perfection.

With December approaching and the holiday rush everywhere, I’ve been feeling deeply into the energy of this season. I love celebration, community, beauty, lights, and togetherness—but I want to enter the holidays from joy, not stress.
Not from overwhelm, people-pleasing, or perfectionism.

My wish for you this season: presence, flow, connection, and love.

Let me know how your experience perfectionism during this time of year, in your job, your relationships or with yourself.

A Closing Reflection

Place your hands on your heart.
Exhale fully.
Whisper to yourself:

“I release the need to be perfect.
I choose truth.
I choose ease.
I choose presence. I am enough.”

Because the path of Yoga and Ayurveda isn’t about perfecting your life — it’s about embracing it, inhabiting it and embodying it.

Scorpio
New Moon

The Alchemy of trust, truth, transformation and creation

As we enter the Scorpio New Moon at 28 degrees, we step into one of the most alchemical and transformative lunations of the year.

This moon is not here for surface spirituality. It invites us down from the mind and into the body—into the emotional, energetic, and soul layers where truth lives, where power regenerates, and where old patterns finally decompose.

This new moon is an initiation.
A gateway.
A descent—and a rebirth.

Scorpio teaches us that life is not meant to stay static. Growth is not clean or linear. Rebirth requires something to die. And with Pluto and Mars ruling this lunar energy, we are guided to release control and surrender to the deeper truth beneath the appearances.

True power is releasing control and surrendering. As the Sun and Moon join in the final degrees of the sign, the cosmos hands us a mirror and whispers:

“Face what you’ve been avoiding.”

Scorpio asks:
* Where is your energy leaking?
* What truth is ready to be spoken?
* What patterns are no longer aligned with who you are becoming?
* What identities, attachments, or stories are being shed?

Full Moon in Ta**us

This Full Moon in Ta**us illuminates themes of stability, sensuality, self-worth, embodiment, and integrity. Ta**us energy invites us to ground into the body and heart, remember our worth, and live from that rooted place. Under this lunation you are asked to stand firmly in what you value and what you offer, to recognize the value you bring simply by being yourself, and to allow your creativity to be guided by purpose and vision.

Body Focus:
Neck, Throat, Vocal Cords, Thyroid

The throat area is the meeting place of voice and truth. This Full Moon asks: are you speaking your truth? Are you speaking from a place of value and worthiness? Are you allowing your body to lead and your voice to follow? Practices that open, soothe, and support the neck and throat can help you embody your message with clarity and ease.

Short practices:
🌕 Gentle neck rolls and supported shoulder-openers.
🦁 Lion’s Breath (simulate a big exhale with sound) to free the vocal cords.
🙏🏽 Neck stretches with mindful breathing — 5 slow rounds on each side.
✨Throat massage: gentle circles with fingertips along the sides of the neck and under the jaw.
🎼 Chant Ham- Chant the Bija sound for the throat chakra

Themes to Hold

— Grounding & embodiment: Root into the body and listen to what it needs.
— Self‑worth & values: Notice where you are claiming your worth — and where you aren’t.
— Boundaries & security: Strengthen structure around what supports you.
— Pleasure & creativity: Invite simple sensual joys back into your life.
— Transformation and Change (Ta**us–Scorpio axis): Let go of old definitions of security so you can reconnect to authentic safety.
— Releasing and letting go: Do a Burning Ceremony and write some things you are letting go of and burn them in a fire.

Happy 50th Jade!

Love you to the death!

I can’t imagine doing life without you. My love, my man, my partner and my mirror. The universe, destiny, fate, spirit (whatever you want to call it) brought us together 9 years ago, and it’s been 9 halloweens celebrating you since. Thanks for being the father to Amara and giving me the greatest gift of all….. becoming a mother.

Thanks being such an awesome human and dad to your other kids, friends and family. I love your curious, creative and dark mind and you soft and open heart. I love our deep conversations and being able to sit in silence with you. I love that we both see live as freedom and liberation and do our best to encourage and support each other in our freedom and expansion.

I hope you have an awesome day and weekend, resting, receiving massage, getting out in nature, eating chocolate, brownie birthday cake and spaghetti and spending some time with friends and family.

I love you and I cannot wait to celebrate you all weekend.
