Celebrating the Summer Solstice with Sun Salutations and Restorative Yoga
This event is part of our Community Connections program - a monthly gathering that's open to all and free for BYMC members.
For all you sun-lovers out there, this practice is for you! We will take our time to ease into and then practice several variations of the sun salutations, ending with a nourishing and quiet restorative practice.
Sun Salutations, known as Surya Namaskar in Sanskrit, is a sequence of yoga postures that flow with the breath and alternate between expansive and gathering in movements. As a whole the sequence symbolizes one elaborate bow to the life-giving sun.
There are many variations of Suyra Namaskar and we will go through a few of them so that you can find the sequence that suits you best. We'll start with highly modified versions and make our way into stronger more conventional expressions.
This active, strong, and heat-building practice will end with restorative yoga to facilitate a deep release and relaxation.
This practice is suitable for seasoned yoga asana practitioners. Adventurous beginners, movement lovers, those who have limited mobility but have regular practices and are able to self-modify are also warmly welcome!
Summer Solstice Picnic
After the practice we will move to Piccolo Park for a community gathering. Invite your friends and family!
