Let us celebrate Summer Solstice together!!!!
The Northern Hemisphere receives more daylight than any other day of the year on the summer solstice. This day marks the start of astronomical summer and the tipping point when days become shorter and nights longer. The word “solstice” comes from the Latin words “sol” (sun) and “stitium” (still or stopped). The ancients noticed that the sun stopped moving northward in the sky as summer progressed, then began tracking southward again as summer turned to autumn. (During the winter solstice, the sun does the opposite, and begins moving northward as winter slowly turns to spring.)
At the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, we become fully awake. Our spirits are alive, refreshed, renewed, energized; all that good, juicy, rich stuff we feel in the sun. On these long days of summer, our spirits yearn to be out, feel alive, be moving, and celebrate.
To initiate such a celebration, we are pleased to offer you a masterclass that will combine discussion and practice on 21 June 2022, so that we may profit from the magical and powerful energy that normally dominates this day.
This masterclass will use the Yogasūtra of Patañjali as the guide and offer insights into the right set of attitudes to develop during these difficult times. A potent practise combining Āsana, Mantra, Prāṇāyāma and Meditation will also be offered, which students can practice through the summer months. Through this practice, you will learn to invoke light and vitality into your heart and how to honour it through a potent practice. You will then be able to carry this powerful energy into your summer and live it with vitality and joy!
The masterclass is open to all, irrespective of the level of practice or experience. It will be conducted by Dr Kausthub Desikachar in English. The masterclass will consist of two sessions of approximately 50 minutes each. The first part will be a lecture/presentation, while the second part will be the practice. Supporting handouts and questions for introspection and self-inquiry will be sent to all the participants.
Even our friends from the Southern hemisphere can benefit from this masterclass, and they will be advised on how to replace the focus of meditation to suit their movement into winter.
The masterclass will be conducted via Zoom and will be recorded via audio, so that even those who cannot participate live can gain access to it.
