Yoga with Rachel

Downward Dog is more than a stretch. It’s a gentle inversion that gives your body a chance to experience the world from a different perspective. It strengthens your arms and shoulders, lengthens your spine, and stretches the backs of your legs, all while inviting you to slow down and breathe.
Come turn things upside down with me Sundays at 9:30am. You don’t have to be “a yoga person” to join us. Just come as you are!

Start a practice with us.

Evansville’s yoga sanctuary.
A conscious community filled with beautiful souls.

Come as you are. You never quite know what you’ll find when you step into a class and that’s part of what makes this space so special.

One of my favorite things about teaching is introducing people to yoga who never thought they were “yoga people.” There’s something really special about discovering that yoga doesn’t have to look a certain way or feel a certain way—it can simply be a place to slow down, breathe, and meet yourself where you are.

Beginners are always welcome in my class. And if you’re curious but not quite ready for a lot of heat, my class is gentle heat—a softer place to start.

Come exactly as you are. You don’t have to be a yoga person yet!

Honoring the winter solstice can involve various rituals and activities that symbolize the themes of rebirth, reflection, and the return of light. Some ideas include:

1. **Candle Lighting:** Light candles to symbolize the return of light and warmth. You can gradually light more candles as a representation of increasing daylight.

2. **Nature Walk or Meditation:** Spend time outdoors to connect with nature. Reflect on the changing seasons and the symbolism of the solstice.

3. **Feast or Potluck:** Share a meal with loved ones, incorporating seasonal and local foods. Consider foods that represent the harvest and winter abundance.

4. **Create a Wishing Ritual:** Write down your wishes, intentions, or reflections for the upcoming year. You can burn the notes in a fire as a symbolic release.

5. **Decorate with Evergreens:** Use evergreen plants like pine, spruce, or holly to symbolize life, growth, and continuity during the winter months.

6. **Reflective Practices:** Practice mindfulness, meditation, or yoga to turn inward and reflect on the past year. Consider what you want to let go of and what you want to invite into your life.

Remember, these suggestions can be adapted to fit your personal beliefs and preferences. The key is to celebrate in a way that feels meaningful and connected to the themes of the winter solstice. In the darkness be the light!
Life loves you all!
