YOGA FOR SEASONAL TRANSITIONS 2024:
Taking time out for simple rituals and practices that honour the ancient festivals of the year and the cyclical wheel of time: Samhain (Oct. 31- Nov.2), Winter Solstice (Dec. 20-23), Imbolc (Feb. 1), Spring Equinox (March 20-23), Beltaine (May 1), & Summer Solstice (June 20-22). As we contemplate the festivals we see how interwoven the life of our psyche, our body, the planet and the sun and moon – for each festival time marks a potent conjunction of Time and Place in a way that is quite remarkable. Attuning to the ongoing cycles of time is a way to nurture and care for ourselves, harmonizing and aligning our energies with nature, coming together in community in honour and
reverence for the wise ways of nature and of our own inner wisdom.

YOGA for SPRING EQUINOX
~ Saturday March 23rd, 2024 ~ 10:30am - 12:30pm
The Equinoxes are times of equal day and night all over the world. The forces of the light are on the increase in the northern hemisphere, where Spring is unfurling. The more recognizable beginnings of Spring are here, when the flowers are beginning to appear and
when the sowing begins in earnest.
What are you wanting to sow this year?
This practice will begin with a co-created spring ritual, offer time for refection, a few writing prompts, and a yoga practice that will be
both enlivening and restorative.
Pre-register by contacting Cedar.
Sliding scale $35 - $45

YOGA for AUTUMN EQUINOX
Sunday September 22nd, 2024
10:30am - 12:30pm
Around September 21st each year, the Celtic tradition celebrates equilibrium when we have equal day and night at the autumn equinox. After this point on the wheel, we gradually move toward winter and the days shorten until the winter solstice, around December 21st. The autumn equinox is also time to celebrate the bounty of the harvest. This time may also be tinged with some melancholy, as the brightness and amplified energy of the summer ebbs into a more reflective and subdued time. How can we hold it all? How can we find equanimity and balance amid both gratitude and grief and attune to this transition gracefully?
Join this nurturing and well-rounded 2 hour class, with time to move, release, relax & reflect.
This is a ceremonial, in-person class honoring the rhythms of life & nature.
