TONIGHT!! The winter solstice marks the shortest day of the year, with the longest night. With this, we transition into the slow welcoming of the sun: days grow longer each day, as we move towards the spring equinox, and in turn, the summer solstice. "Solstice" is a part of our namesake due to the special intentions we hold around these transitions. The winter solstice is a particularly good time to bring into light our intentions for the next season. We can put to rest ene...rgies that no longer serve us, and tune into our needs moving forward into the new year. Join Caitlin tonight via Facebook LIVE, right here, for a special evening class at 6:15pm. We will be practicing poses that ignite our intentions and pay homage to the day. We will also have a journaling and intention setting exercises included in class, so come prepared with a notebook, cozy props, and your favorite warm beverage! This event is free to current subscribers and a donation-based offering for the rest of our community! Feel free to share To Donate: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/solsticeyogashala

Yoga isn't just asana. You may have heard of the "eight limbs of yoga". Many of these limbs are internal, mental and emotional practices that are often encouraged in yogis long before the journey into asanas (physical postures). One of these limbs represents the five "yamas", which are social restraints and ethical principles that we take with us off of the mat. The yamas are meant to guide our interactions within our community and influence how we treat others. The five yam...as are: 1. Ahimsa (non-violence) 2. Satya (truthfulness) 3. Asteya (non-stealing) 4. Brahmacharya (moderation of the senses/right use of energy) 5. Aparigraha (non-greed) What better way to incorporate the yamas, particularly brahmacharya and aparigraha, into our lives than to donate to our community food drive! Beginning today, December 1st, we will have two donation boxes at the studio, one for each county's food bank. Located near the border of Berks and Chester counties, we want to help as many of our neighbors as we can! Bring your donations to class, or text Caitlin for contact-less drop off outside the front door prior to class times! (Please be mindful of the weather and do not leave items out in precipitation - 484-284-0426). Head on over to @helpingharvest and @chestercountyfoodbank to view lists of recommended items! Feel free to contact us with any questions, or visit the food bank sites online! With love & light, Caitlin & the Solstice Yoga Shala crew

A Note From Our Owner: Walking into the studio a few years ago, I instantly felt home; I felt the energy of our warm, welcoming community and knew that I found something special. This community is one of the most kind, grateful, and beautiful bunch of people I have ever had the honor of knowing. ... When the opportunity arose to take over the studio this fall, I did so because of you. Every single one of you reading this, makes the studio what it is. I did it for our students and teachers alike, so that we all continue to have a space to practice our yoga. Those of you who are still tuning in and showing up each and every day for your practice, I admire you. I thank you. I thank you for choosing to share your practice with us, and allowing us to practice with you. I am so grateful for this space and those who make up it’s foundation. Thank you! Have a safe & happy holiday Caitlin
