Join us for a special practice of subtle Yoga as we celebrate both the International Day of Yoga and the Summer Solstice. Subtle practices, like the physical practice of Yoga, establish a deep connection with the universe. They offer a unique opportunity to open the doors to higher states of consciousness, inner Light, and pranic healing.

The session will include:

Yoga Nidra: A deep relaxation practice to awaken the pranic flow within the body
Breathing exercises: Techniques to enhance vitality and energy
Guided meditation: Focusing on connecting with the Earth and uncovering our Inner Light
Light invocation: Inviting positivity and illumination
Extended Gayatri Mantra chanting: A powerful mantra to harmonize body, mind, and spirit chanted to enlighten the mind

The Summer Solstice serves as a reminder to honor our connection to the natural world and the inevitable cycles of life. It’s a time to celebrate our inner power and brightness.
