Welcome to this deeply nourishing 65-minute yin yoga practice, created to honour the season of Yule and the sacred stillness of the Winter Solstice - the longest night of the year.

This is a powerful time in the Wheel of the Year to pause, reflect, and retreat inward. The solstice marks both an ending and a beginning: a time to acknowledge the darkness not with fear, but with reverence, and to connect with the quiet wisdom that lives in stillness.

Through gentle postures, breath awareness, and mindful presence, you are invited to embrace the energy of hibernation, introspection, and rest, allowing space for your inner light to be rediscovered.
