✨ Yoga, Tub & Tea — A Winter Solstice Mini Retreat ✨
December 13th • 10:00am–12:30pm
As we approach the winter solstice — the longest night and the turning point toward renewed light — we gather for a quiet, nourishing morning devoted to the Water element.
This season invites us inward, closer to the bone, closer to the truth that lives beneath our surface. It is a time of restoration, deep listening, and replenishment of our inner reserves.
🧘♀️ Breathwork + Elemental Asana
We begin by settling into breath and awareness, softening tension and inviting stillness.
Our asana practice moves along the Kidney and Bladder meridians — the pathways of courage, will, instinct, and surrender.
The slowness becomes its own medicine, helping us cultivate steadiness and clarity for the season ahead.
🔥 Cedar Hot Tub Ritual
Following practice, each person is welcomed into a 15–20 minute cedar-wood hot tub soak — warm water as a teacher, softening and supporting the body.
This ritual is an embodiment of the solstice itself: entering the dark, warm quiet to restore what has been stretched thin.
🍵 Intuitive Herbal Tea
We close by sharing a winter-focused herbal infusion designed to nourish the Kidney system and support grounding through the cold months.
A simple, shared ceremony to honor the returning light within and around us.

SOLSTICE INTENTION
This gathering is an invitation to pause at the threshold of the season —

to restore what feels depleted,
and to welcome the subtle return of light with presence, warmth, and clarity.
I’m honored to share this winter ritual with you.
