Winter Solstice Yoga Nidra & Sound Bath
Embrace the Darkness, Welcome the Return of Light
with Dr. Emily
Sunday 12/21 at 6:30pm
Join us for a deeply restorative journey on the longest night of the year. As nature pauses at the threshold between darkness and light, we too will rest in the sacred stillness of the winter solstice—honoring what has been, releasing what must fall away, and planting seeds for the returning light.
What to Expect:
This immersive experience combines the profound relaxation of Yoga Nidra with the healing vibrations of a live sound bath. You'll be guided into a state of conscious rest—that liminal space between waking and sleeping—where deep healing and transformation naturally occur.
As you lie cocooned in blankets, the guided meditation will take you on an inner journey through the darkness of winter, helping you access your own inner wisdom and recognize the gifts that only stillness can bring.
The experience is woven throughout with the resonant tones of crystal singing bowls and chimes. These healing vibrations work on a cellular level, releasing tension, balancing energy, and attuning your body to its natural state of harmony.
The Winter Solstice reminds us that:
Rest is essential for renewal
Darkness is a teacher, not something to fear
The light always returns
Endings make space for new beginnings
Leave feeling:
Deeply rested and restored
Connected to the natural rhythms of the seasons
Clear on what you're releasing and what you're calling in
Grounded in the present moment
Held by the wisdom of winter
No yoga experience necessary—this is a fully reclined, restorative practice accessible to all bodies and abilities.
What to Bring:
Yoga mat
Pillow for your head
Blankets (layers for warmth—you'll be still for a while)
Eye pillow (optional)
Journal and pen for post-practice reflection
Anything else that helps you feel safe and comfortable
Dress in warm, comfortable layers. The room will be dimly lit. Arrive a few minutes early to settle in.
