Solstice Invitation (täynnä)

Saturday 21st of December at 16-18 // Roots Helsinki Vallila

“Oh do you have time
to linger
for just a little while
out of your busy”

We were never meant to spend winters hustling. Say no to hustle and busy-ness with this Saturday special that’ll take you on a solstice trip on the shortest day of the year. Come honor the long darkness by slowing down and sinking into softness. Look forward to a candle-lit yin & yang practice followed by yoga nidra (which is like a long meditation at the border of sleep, perfect). The perfect hibernation before Xmas.

All bodies welcome, class taught in English (quote from Mary Oliver)

This practice is led by our teacher Nina. Nina teaches yoga, is an activist by heart and by trade, and a mother to three kiddos. She’s taught yoga for a decade, starting off the in the realm of vinyasa flow and gradually slowing down to juicy slow flows, authentic flow and embodied yin.

Nina’s classes are playful, inclusive and often incorporate stories, poems or card decks. She is currently studying somatic therapy, which is a great tool in both yoga and social justice work. She enjoys daily rituals and micro luxuries (like that first morning coffee or the feeling of finding a particularly good tomato). She believes in creating rituals and fostering community, the power of Nick Cave and also that the body knows best.
