Winter Solstice Workshop

  • The Centre of Bright Beginnings 60 Brighton Rd Scarborough, WA, 6019 Australia (map)

Winter Solstice has long been a sacred time of year for many cultures

For the Nyoongar people, this time of year is Makuru - the Season of Fertility

Hindus may celebrate Makar Sankranti in honour of the solar deity, Surya, who begins anew for the year ahead


During this workshop, we will explore:

  • Practices and rituals for the winter season

  • Reflection upon the summer and autumn that have been and the opportunities of winter in preparation for the spring ahead through the lense of yogic philosophy

  • Why ‘being’ can be just as, if not more, effective than ‘doing’

  • Breathing practices (pranayama) for winter warmth

  • Gentle yoga postures (asana) and movement for the darker months

  • Why hibernating from the world (pratyahara) can support your health and wellbeing

  • The meditative quality of darkness

  • Ways to implement or adapt your home practice to nourish you during winter


The shortest day of the year signifies the end of the cycle into darkness and the beginning of the cycle towards light.
— Claire Holloway
