Winter Solstice & Full Moon Practice: Honoring the Deep Darkness, Welcoming the Luminous Light

SPECIAL HOLIDAY PRACTICE with Rainey

The darkness of the solstice invites us to turn inward and tend our roots and still quiet places. The brightness of the full moon invites us to acknowledge the light and bright aspects of ourselves. The two together are a powerful reminder that light is known by the darkness that surrounds it and the darkness is a deep and profound place of incubation. Both are necessary; both are to be honored.

As we practice the full mandala of yogic arts (movement, chanting, pranayama, meditation and rest), we dance and honor the fullness of our embodiment; body, breath, mind, heart. This practice is a place to plant the seed of intention for the coming season and invite the light of consciousness to water it. All are welcome to this circle.

About the instructor: 

Rainey first encountered yoga as a teenager, discovered her passion for it in her mid-20’s and began teaching more than 17 years ago. For most of her life, she has been curious about the great mysterious dance of life and death and has been drawn towards the traditions that help deepen and expound upon it. Her personal journey has given her a sincere appreciation for the tenacity of the body, mind, and heart when given space and support to renew and recover.

Rainey offers Living Presence Yoga & Somatic Awareness: an invitation to move with deep attention and curiosity, pausing often to listen to what is currently arising and orienting ourselves in the larger context of nature. She is devoted to co-creating a space of wild inquiry with her students. She is deeply influenced by her on-going studies in Continuum, Meditation and Trauma Release. Her decade as a certified Anusara yoga Teacher lays the foundation for her teaching. Rainey is a C-IAYT and E-RYT 500 certified yoga teacher and offers private therapeutic yoga sessions.
