Honoring the Summer Solstice

”…This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath, the door of a vanished house left ajar…” — Margaret Atwood

As we enter the doorway of the Summer Solstice, we are reminded of the power of pausing—of that sacred space between. In yogic tradition, this moment is known as Sandi: the seam between what was and what is yet to come. It is here, in this stillness, that possibility begins to stir. We will use this time to check in with our intentions and renew our commitment to them...or...to form new ones if they no longer serve. It is a great time for placing intentions in the space of possibility and letting the light and growth of Summer carry them forward.

🌞 Saturday Solstice Class with Behnje

🗓 Saturday, June 21 at 9:00 AM

Let’s come together to honor the energy of the sun through breath, movement, and reflection. This class will focus on the Solstice as a time of transition, celebration, and inner alignment. We will have contemplation on our intentions and jot them down. Behnje can take them home and offer them up to a ceremonial fire if you wish. Encourage a friend to drop in with you for $12 ! See you there!!!

Since studying at From the Heart, I have truly come into “living” yoga beyond the mat. The overall mind/body/spirit connection has not only become very real and made me more aware on all levels of my own personal growth, but has also enhanced my connection to community and the world around me. I am more grounded, peaceful, observant, grateful and authentic.
