SUMMER SOLSTICE YOGA 🌞 fiery litha yoga for summer [30 min] Summer Yoga ☁️🌞☁️ Welcome to a fun and fiery summer solstice slow flow yoga class! The summer solstice is a sacred time of year when we celebrate warmth, light, and the beginning of a new season. The latin origin of the word solstice means “sun standing still.” The sun seems to pause in the sky before reversing direction and beginning its long journey into winter. Inspired by the abundant sun, we'll stoke the inner fire but also make space for slowness and stillness.

Enjoy practice! -Alison

One year later I practised your sequence and wish to express my thankfulness. I experienced the fire and stillness described by the other practitioners and am particularly amazed by your creative Malasana solstice pose. Thank you so much and all blessings for you!
This was a gorgeous flow! I really love your unique poses and twists on the classic ones. I would call the squat Sun Ray Squat, because it feels like just one sun ray extending out! ☀️

Oh I like that! I can definitely see the sun ray 🌤 It's been fun hearing all the creative names! Your feedback about the flow is so appreciate! I've been teaching a long time and can't help but mix things up sometimes. Happy Solstice!
Maybe call it sunrise squat? Lovely practice for Midsummer :)

I felt like a large jug of water pouring out into the earth. This would make it Aquarius (I know wrong dates) for summer. But still water needs to be had for the plants and flowers to grow. 😁 Beautiful practice for my end of September visit. ❤

This was an amazing flow! I did it with the intention of inviting the Summer and Solar energies to my body and I feel so much more energized, but calm ! I was struggling with anxiety and low energy and vitality and this helped me a lot! This is my second time in your channel - my first video was the New Moon flow a couple of days ago and I definitely plan on coming back and joining your community !

Did this class this morning and boy was it good! I def loved the balancing pose it was so different for me but such a good way! I think we should name that pose sun malasana (idk if I spelled that right) just bc it made it seem like we’re letting the sun in through! Super happy this class what long too! Loved it! I hope y’all have a blessed Litha/Summer solstice 🌞🩵🩵🩵

ahhh it's tricky trying to do both on the phone. I play the music from a separate device, like watching the class and playing the music on a bluetooth speaker from my phone. It sounds so complicated to type it out 🥴 but i don't mind it.
