Embracing Darkness

Winter Solstice Yoga Workshop

Sat 21 Dec 2024 | 2:00pm – 4:30pm | Quaker House, Muswell Hill

During the time of the Winter Solstice we experience the power of the standstill point and a shift of direction. A powerful time that invites us to rest in the darkness and cultivate a greater capacity to receive our inner light.  Join me in the deepest darkest winter stillness to harness the Darkness for personal growth and renewal.

Come take a part in the age old story of Darkness & Light. In the stillness of the season we will immerse ourselves in legend and myth told through yoga postures. Through movement and dance we will embody the everlasting battle of good and bad. Embracing and integrating our own Darkness gives us the tools to slay our demons  and emerge into light, renewed and reborn! Just like the Sun goes though death and rebirth at the time of the solstice so do we rekindle our inner light.

We’ll do some shadow work journaling, gratitude practices & sow seeds of new intentions for the cycle ahead of us. We’ll finish the workshop with a deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) to help set a slow & peaceful rhythm for the coming cold winter days.

BEGINNER FRIENDLY WORKSHOP

The workshop is beginner friendly so if you have never done yoga it might be a perfect opportunity to get introduced to some of the antient yogic scriptures and traditions.

WELCOME DRINKS & SNACKS

Welcome warm festive drinks & small good-bye snacks will be served so please let me know your dietary requirements.

PREREQUISITES FOR THE PRACTICE:

• Eat easily digestible foods and avoid protein-rich foods 1-2 days before the cleanse. Best is to eat grain porridges, boiled and steamed vegetables.
• Practice is to be done in the morning on an empty stomach
• Prepare 3 – 4 litres of saline solution – two teaspoons of salt to a litre of lukewarm water
• A freely available toilet is required for the duration of the practice + 1 hour
• A specially prepared meal of Kichadi is to be consumed 45 mins after the practice. See recipe below.

Kichadi Recipe

INGREDIENTS: 

• 1/2 cup mung dahl
• 1 cup rice
• Cow’s ghee butter (clarified butter)
• 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Cumin seeds 

METHOD: 

• Soak the mung dahl and rice for 2 hours.
• Wash/rinse ingredients well after soaking.
• Boil in 6 cups of water adding the turmeric and cumin seeds over a low flame for  30 mins-1hour. When it begins to boil, turn the mixture down to simmer and turn off flame when mixture is soft and little liquid remains. No salt is to be added!
• Serve each serving with 1 teaspoon of melted ghee butter.

THE METHOD

The Yogis of the ancient times gifted us with this great method of cleansing toxins from the body called Shankha Prakshalana. Shankh means conch that resembles the coiled shape of the bowels, and Prakshalana means cleaning.

For the cleansing, 2-3.5 litres of lukewarm saline water is used. The intake of large amounts of warm saline water (of the same pH as the blood), followed by simple yogic postures, forces the fermentations and sediments from the intestinal walls to be washed out through the rectum.

The sequence of intake of water and performance of the specific yogic asana is repeated until clear water is released from the bowels.

POST PRACTICE CARE

The following steps are to be followed closely by the participants to complete the practice safely.

– After full evacuation, clean water should be coming out of the colon, please rest in bed lying on your back for 45 mins. Try to maintain silence. During this time the digestive tract is in a mode of recovery and will be recharging itself.
Then eat a specially prepared meal (Kichadi) containing rice, mung dahl and ghee. The food is to be taken straight after the rest, filling up your stomach sufficiently – this will help to line up and lift up the intestinal walls.

– First intake of water can happen 30 mins after food is consumed

– Rest for another three hours however avoid sleeping as this can cause a cold, headache or lethargy.

– Second meal is to be taken 3-6 hours after the first. You can either consume more kichadi or eat a simple meal avoiding any dairy products, raw fruit and veg; avoid acid foods and drinks on that day.

– No physical exercise including Yoga is to be practiced for the next 24 hours, only mild activities on that day. Take plenty of rest!

– It is totally forbidden to drink coffee, black tea and alcohol during the 24 hours after the intestinal healing

– For 1 to 4 weeks after the practice avoid any chemically prepared, spicy, or non-veg food. Restrict the intake of pickle, dairy products, sweets, or acidic fruits. Avoid smoking, alcohol, or any drugs for a month.

The technique is to be performed 1 to 2 times a year. Best seasons are spring and autumn.
