Yoga And The Summer Solstice
Yoga + The Summer Solstice
Today is the longest day of the year! Did you know that? Plus tomorrow is International Yoga Day so like these next two days are really rad, in my opinion. Let’s talk about the Summer Solstice real quick! I won’t keep ya too long.
What is it? The summer solstice is a time when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, symbolizing light, energy, and growth. When you relate this to yoga, think of the light, energy, and growth symbolized by this day; Yoga places an emphasis on inner light and vitality which aligns well with this theme. Practicing yoga on this day can enhance one's connection to these natural energies!
So how can you connect yoga and The Summer Solstice together today? Let me give you so ideas to spark your inspiration a bit!
