YOGA FOR A MIDSUMMER AFTERNOON

A SUMMER SOLSTICE YOGA RETREAT

20th June 2026, 2-4.30pm

Root Deeply • Rise Brightly • Celebrate Fully!

Celebrate the longest day of the year with a nourishing afternoon yoga retreat inspired by the energy of the Summer Solstice — a powerful time of renewal, vitality, transformation, and light.

As the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, you are invited to a midsummer pause, with time to reflect and connect with the fullness and abundance of the season.

The Solstice is a time to gather — as it coincides with International Yoga Day, what better opportunity to come together in celebration of light, connection, completeness, and abundance.

The Summer Solstice has long been associated with the oak tree, a symbol of strength, wisdom, and the gateway into the second half of the year. Like the oak, we are reminded that true growth begins with strong roots. This workshop invites you to ground deeply within yourself, expand fully into the light, and honour your own inner strength and growth.

Whether you are welcoming abundance, seeking clarity, longing to recharge, or simply wishing to reconnect with nature’s rhythm, you are warmly invited to gather beneath the radiance of the solstice sun and the symbolic strength of the oak.

Come and root deeply, rise brightly, and celebrate fully!

Workshop Highlights

During our solstice gathering we’ll harness the warmth and abundance of the season to reconnect with ourselves.

  • Our solstice journey will begin with an energising solar flow yoga practice, designed to build warmth in the body and awaken a bright, steady focus. We’ll include breathwork to awaken clarity and vitality, helping you clear away stagnant energy and feel more grounded and present.

    At the heart of the practice we’ll include rounds of sun salutations, honouring the rhythm of the solstice and the power of the sun.

  • We’ll share seasonal refreshments in community, offering a gentle pause to connect, chat, and enjoy the sweetness of midsummer together. It’s a relaxed, welcoming moment to simply be. There will also be time for stillness and a solstice reflection, with space to journal or quietly contemplate what you’re ready to nurture in the months ahead. You’re invited to take this part in whatever way feels meaningful for you.

  • From there, we’ll ease into restorative poses and a guided solstice relaxation, allowing the nervous system to settle and the body to rest, reset, and integrate the practice.

  • To close, you’ll receive a summer-inspired natural gift to take home — a small reminder of the light, abundance, and strength of the solstice and our afternoon together.
