Uplifting yoga for darkening days

Autumn isn’t everyone’s favourite time of year. As the nights close in, so can our mood. And once the clocks go back, there’s no denying that winter is just around the corner. 

~ How do you keep your spirits up?
~ Do you have favourite ways to priortise cosiness and wellbeing?

Yoga can help us bring in the light during the dark months of November and December. We can help ourselves by committing to a regular practice that uplifts our spirits as well as satisfying our natural rhythms and the need to rest more, maybe to hibernate.

To help you through the darkening days, I’m offering a six-week block of classes to take us from Samhain through to (almost) the Winter Solstice.

These are special weeks in Nature’s calendar. As the nights lengthen to the longest night of the year, we enter a dreamtime, a liminal space, the pause before the sun begins its long journey back. And of course, it’s a natural pause before we dive headlong into Christmas celebrations – also an acknowledgment of the return of the light.

If you’d like to join me, sign up now. All the dates and details are below. 

Let’s keep the light shining and brighten up the darkness together!
