LIVE DIGITAL: WINTER SOLSTICE WITH ASHLEY NICOLE

This class is taught by:

Lyndsy Wittmer

YOGA INSTRUCTOR 200Hr
Lyndsy has been a nurse at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia since 2005 and a nurse practitioner in the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics since 2014. She is a graduate of the 200-hour Svadhyaya Teacher Training (2017) and Yoga Child’s 95 hour Children's Yoga Certification (2018-2019).

Yoga first became part of her life 12 years ago as a way to find inner peace and quiet, contrasting her long days caring for others as a nurse. A growing body of research has shown that yoga offers physical and psychological benefits for kids. She has been inspired to see those benefits in action offering yoga and mindfulness to children, teens and families of all abilities around my community. She hopes that through these practices she can offer children an opportunity to bring their beautiful inner light to the surface so they can live their best life!

Jen L Lavelle

YOGA INSTRUCTOR

A former dancer, the movement of yoga drew Jen to the mat in 2016. Quickly Jen discovered the benefits of yoga beyond the physical practice as she noticed how her life began to transform outside of the practice to help her manage her busy and stressful corporate career and quickly immersed herself in the practice of yoga of mediation. As Jen deepened her exploration of yoga, she took part in the first Inside Flow teacher training that took place in the United States and is thrilled to help bring this form of yoga to the United States.
Jen is a 200-hour yoga alliance certified teacher who is certified in mediation and is a silver Inside Flow teacher.

This Christmas, give yourself the gift of self-care, self-study, and preparation for a transformative new year by joining Ashley for a Winter Solstice practice that includes yin yoga, meditation, yoga nidra, journaling, and manifestation practices.

No matter the time of year, a change in season never ceases to stir up intense emotion. This is not a coincidence! As nature transforms, we too can feel energetic shifts occurring within and around us. Instead of allowing the shifts to throw us off kilter, we can remain steady by welcoming the new season with rituals, body work, and mindfulness.

On the night of the Winter Solstice, the darkest and shortest day of the year and considered the pagan New Year to many, we have an opportunity to celebrate the hope of returning light and new life. In this workshop, we will get slow, still, and quiet enough to connect with our inner guide, the light that shines deep within the darkest parts of ourselves, in order to uncover our dreams, desires, and hopes for the future.

We will:
- release tension, stress, and old patterns through yin
- calm and ease the mind in meditation
- transcend with yoga nidra
- study the true-self through journaling and manifestation practices
- let go of that which is no longer serving us
- set intentions for 2024 to step confidently into the new season and year ahead.
