The Stillness of the Solstice
Dec

5:00 PM17:00

The Stillness of the Solstice

The sun at its greatest distance from the celestial equator results in the shortest day and longest night of the year at the Winter Solstice. The Latin roots: Sol = sun and sistere is ‘to make stand’. Thus this powerful point of the year as the axis of the Earth shifts and moves in the opposite direction. A powerful metaphor for the energy available to us too to change the direction of our own lives. The seeds that are buried deep within us are warmed by the light of our own conscious attention in this winter season where everything lies dormant and silent in the earth.

Join us on the darkest night by going into that fruitful darkness and silence out of which the soul’s yearnings and new inspirations can in time emerge. We will rest in the peace of the darkness and through meditation, quiet chanting, and yin yoga find the connection to our own inner light ever more brilliant. All held by the warm community of one another.

Space is limited. Please email diana@aliveanew.com to reserve your space. $50

Grounding into Gratitude

“The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty YES to your adventure.”

-Joseph Cambell

Quiet the mind, relax the body, connect - give thanks! Receive the nurturing and deep opening that the quiet of the Yin practice offers. In this retreat, we will anchor deeply into the gesture of gratitude…bringing awareness to all the blessings we have in our lives and cultivating practices for future blessings to flow towards us.

As we anchor our whole being into this gesture of gratitude, we become aware of the generosity of our own hearts as well as the generosity of life that is always flowing towards us with blessing. The focus of the practice will be Yin yoga with breath work, chanting, and meditation and a bit of quiet flow to begin.

Bring your journal and an inspiring quote!

Listen and Receive: Yin Yoga Soundbath to Nourish

Carve out an afternoon for yourself to slow down from all the business of everyday activities and receive the gift of the Yin Yoga practice with sound bath. Return to your center and home of your body as we soak and nourish the deep connective tissue of our bodies in the Yin Yoga practice while being enveloped by the magical and healing music of Lucia's sound bath.

Yin Yoga is an essential quiet yoga practice that brings greater health to the deeper structures of our bodies—the joints, bones and the facial networks that envelop all. The Yin practice will bring balance and nourish the deep tissues of our bodies.

Lucia's sound bath journey in savasana allows for deep relaxation and restoration. Lucia will use her voice (mantras, chants, channeled music), Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, her medicine drum, koshi bells, percussion, kalimba, uke, guitar, looping pedal and other instruments gathered in her travels to create an experience conducive for inner journeying.

Spring Renewal Yin Yoga Workshop

Spring Renewal Yin Yoga Workshop

presented by Soulstice Mind Body Spa

As we move into Spring, the energy in nature is slowly beginning to stir, rising upwards and out of the cold moist earth. There is an energy of growth and renewal happening around us and also within us.

The Liver is the organ associated with Spring and the element of this season is Wood. After the inward stillness of Winter in the Water Element, the dynamic expansion of the Wood Element is now seen in the thousand of shoots, buds and leaves in plants that are exploding back into life. Now is the time of year when your own Wood Element also begins to expand. After the isolation of Winter you are starting to venture out more and experience the return of the sun. Spring is a great time to start new projects, spring clean your home and perhaps make changes to your diet to assist in the detoxification of your body.

Just as the energy of the new shoots push through the ground, so too does Liver Qi in your body. As the energy within you begins to rise, yin yoga can help support Liver Qi during this seasonal change and assist the body’s natural digestive and detoxification functions. This practice allows you to embrace the opportunity to shed old unwanted layers and start making conscious choices to begin again.

Diana offers her students a physically challenging yet balanced yoga practice, that nurtures and supports increasing levels of growth and well being. Her style draws from her studies at Kripalu in Western Massachusetts and in Northern California where she studied under many master teachers in the Vinyasa Flow, Iyengar, and Yin Yoga traditions.
