Although every time we step on the mat it is a spiritual celebration or Holy-day🎄, ritualizing this potent time of year where cross-culturally it is the time to celebrate the birth of light, no matter how dark the times, feels so symbolic and important to tune into. As we approach the winter solstice on December 21st, we are celebrating the dawn of the birth of light out of darkness. The darkest times can be the most powerful as it forces us to awaken and get creative in making changes in our lives and rise up again and again, everyday, like the Sun. It is the time of rebirth, so challening but so needed, especially during such a year!

Whether it is the lighting of the Kwanzaa Kinara, Jewish Menorah, Ramadan Lanterns, Christmas Tree, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain Diwali Lamp, Persian Yalda candles, or Mayan Fire Ceremony the time of the Winter Solstice is a celebration of the victory of Light over darkness, the return of the SUN!! In the same way, on our personal paths we celebrate our own victory of turning towards the light within, towards love instead of hate, peace instead of war, hope and faith instead of fear.


Join us this Holy-Day season in Lighting Lamps of love with Yoga, Service and Community with our very limited schedule for two weeks but some very special events to uplift your spirits, practice and lives.

Many blessings to you all, may you and your families be happy, healthy and happy 🙏🏽

Today December 4th, we witness the final Supermoon of 2025. Known as the “Cold Moon,” this one is truly special. Due to a rare cycle called the “Major Lunar Standstill,” this moon will climb higher in the Northern Hemisphere sky than any other full moon this year. We won’t see a moon reach this extreme altitude again until 2042!

As we honor our Gurus and Luminaries who have inspired us, this Gemini full moon in darkest month reminds us to be the light in the darkness through our minds, words and creativity, through diversity and CHANGE 💝

To honor this significant moment we’re offering 3 ways to support you in the shifts you have been wanting to make, through the transformative practices of Yoga that prepare us mentally, physically and spiritually to face our challenges with integrity, honesty and an open heart!

🧜🏽‍♀️New Kundalini Class every Tuesday at 10am with Yael Haar starting 9/4!

With Election Day on Tuesday, a full Moon rolls in on Wednesday the 5th and Mercury goes retrograde on Sunday the 9th along with the shift in seasons and weather and we may all be feeling it!

Feeling anxious during times of upheaval is natural. We will all react differently. Taking care of yourself is essential. Usually helping others and engaging in something peace-nurturing, helps— lots of breathing, and getting outside, nourishing food and cultivating community. Take a break from the news, do what you love and spend time with those who love you, tune into your heart and listen to others. Light a candle, pray, play with children, sing, listen to music, soothe your soul…. And then…. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work with full hearts and support the most vulnerable in our communities.

Every November our monthly focus at Lotusland shifts towards Ayurveda, Yoga’s sister science of healing and we are all so excited to share this wisdom with all of you all month especially during Vata season where we can all get a little run down. The days are getting shorter and colder as the Seans shift and so must our daily practices and routines. It’s soup season and time get cozy and warm to soothe our nervous systems and strengthen our immune systems with nourishing movement, music and meditation.

We have added some incredible classes and teachers to our weekly roster to continue to serve and support you with powerful practices to nourish your bodies, minds, hearts and souls.

Yael hair has been teaching her transformative Kundalini Yoga and Sound Healing monthly events for over a year at Lotusland and we are so excited and honored to have her on our weekly schedule every Tuesday at 10 am starting THIS Tuesday!

Kundalini Yoga is known as the yoga of awareness and transformation. Each class combines physical exercises (asanas), breath (pranayama), meditation, sound (mantras), and deep relaxation to create a complete mind, body, and spirit experience.

All are welcome, as modifications are offered. No experience is necessary.
