Come join me for Beach Yin & Yang Yoga in the relaxing setting of the beach, pairing the soothing influence of ocean waves with the movement of mind, body and soul. We will be using a more Yang style to help move your Qi through the spaces of your body to keep your body heat up and then into a nice gentle guided meditation to bring stillness and calmness into your being. Many studies have shown the stress-reducing qualities of yoga practice, but more recent research confirms that spending time near a body of water reduces stress.
There is an optional sea dip afterwards and hot drinks are available from Fred & Nancy's Cafe
This class is suitable for all levels especially beginners and both men and women are very welcome
The cycle of the Sun represents the cycle of our lives and reflects the natural flow of energy moving inward and outward. There are times to grow, times to pause, times to shed and times to learn. Just as we align with the Moon’s journey every month, we can align with the Sun’s journey throughout the year.
The Summer solstice represents the transition from action to nourishment, which is exactly what the Sun gives us during the long nights of summer, both to our actual crops but also to the continual journey we travel from darkness to light. Summer reminds us that there is hope in the world, that the light within can spread to the far reaches of the globe and inspire others. We can nurture others, just as the Sun nurtures us. Summer becomes a time to work on ourselves and our ability to be the light and find meaning in our journey, even when it seems uncertain.
Come join me to celebrate the Summer Solstice with deep nourishing Cacao Ceremony and a transformative Shamanic Drumming Meditation. Let’s be the light, shine our light and raise our vibrations to connect to our inner wisdom.

Cacao Ceremony
