As we approach the Summer Solstice, nature reaches its energetic peak — a moment when the sun lingers longest in the sky, casting warmth and brightness over everything it touches. It’s a time to pause and notice the light, both outside and within. In yoga, we honour this turning point not just with movement, but with reflection, gratitude, and connection to the rhythms of the season.

The solstice invites us to celebrate growth — not just in the natural world, but in ourselves. As the first half of the year culminates, it’s an opportunity to check in: What are you growing towards? What might you release as you move into the second half of the year? Whether through a sun salutation, quiet meditation, or simply stepping outside barefoot in the morning light, this is a time to return to the simple, powerful rituals that root us.
