My Dearest Yogis, Happy Winter Solstice today! Dec. 21, marks the shortest day of the year, and the beginning of the Winter season. On this day, Yogi's celebrate the "return of the light" as the day after the solstice begins our 6 month trek to the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice, and the ever so gradual increase of daylight through the Winter and Spring months. Today my thoughts wander to the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice of 2021. Will Blossom Yoga re-open ...by then? Probably not in March, most likely in June. As this (fill in the blank :) year draws to a close and the New Year is right around the corner, my thoughts on who I was before, who I became during and who I'll transform into next year, rattle around in my head. You too? To emerge in one piece next Spring, I know I need a plan of: Rest, Reflection, Restoration, Yoga, Spiritual Study, More Yoga, Good Nutrition and More Rest. What is your plan? So, dear yogis, celebrate the Winter Solstice with one, 2 or more Sun Salutations and rejoice knowing that the light always returns, little by little. Rest like the earth does in Winter and emerge even more brilliant next Spring. The divine light in me bows to the divine light within you. Namaste, Ginger

Watch Ginger and Ben demonstrate one of the best poses (Legs-Up-the-Wall/Viparita Karani) to move lymph from the legs, improve immunity and turn on your anti-fight/flight nervous system by activating your parasympathetic nervous system, to more effectively rest and digest this winter. This free 14 min video on Viparita Karani shows 3 setups, from simple props (yoga mat, blanket, strap) to more advanced setups (lots of blankets!). Enjoy! https://us02web.zoom.us//xw4cQ7ab3MW6sf8noWkMrxohqBuuqCGgV

Yoga Nidra or "Divine Sleep" is a "yoga practice to bring systemic relaxation of the body while the mind enters a state of deep, meditative awareness-like dreaming while fully awake". (Read more at Kripalu.org) It can help you to prepare for sleep or you can listen to a Yoga Nidra recording if you wake up in the middle of the night to help you relax and hopefully get back to sleep. Yoga Nidra can also be done anytime of the day that you just need to hit that internal "reset" button! Blossom Yoga teacher, Kathy Carter, lovingly shares her Yoga Nidra recording (15min) with us this week. May you listen to it and find divine rest of your body, mind and spirit. https://us02web.zoom.us//o1JrrdCFP7PKWOCOnwBlLQuzRj_l0rWX-
