Journey through the wheel of the year with DeAnn Barry in this quarterly workshop featuring yoga, ritual and connection to honor the rhythms of Nature.
Sol Medicine is your soul’s journey of self-discovery, courage, peace, and wholeness. These immersion practices invite you to slow down and connect deeply into your own Heart Medicine. Using the cycles of each season as your guide, renew your vital energy while fortifying your being on all levels: body, mind, and spirit.
Each practice you will build heat and tapas (devotion) through the sacred offering of surya namaskar (sun salutations). Rest and reset with deep yin shapes to offer a harmonious and balanced flow of prana (life force). These sessions will draw from the wisdom of the chakras, the essence of the elements, the sacred directions, yogic philosophy, and the energetic pathways of the traditional Chinese meridian system correlated to each of the seasonal junctures - Autumn Equinox, Winter Solstice, Vernal Equinox, and Summer Solstice.
We will explore:
yoga asana & vinyasa krama
yin shapes & energy flow
guided yoga nidra journey
sound attunement
ritual & ceremony
pranayama (breathwork)
dhyana (contemplation/meditation)
Join DeAnn to call in the cycles of the seasons and offer your own Soul’s Medicine as you journey around the sun.
Workshop Dates and Themes
September 7th ~ Tending to your Earthen Body (grounding and hip opening)
Enjoy an immersion practice with deep hip openers and strong standing sequencing. Slow and steady we will open the energetic pathways in our earth body (annamaya kosha). This practice will bring a sense of stability and satisfaction moving the energy of our yang (active) meridian of autumn.
December 7th ~ Nourish (backbending and deep resting)
Nourishing heart openers, fortifying sun salutations, and guided relaxation offers a gateway into the season of deep rest and Winter. Bringing awareness to the back body and your yang (active) meridian of winter as a Guardian of Your Peace, filling your reservoir of Qi (vital energy).
March 8th ~ Reciprocity (twist & side bends)
With Spring we receive the energy of Hope, Renewal and Rebirth. This immersion practice will focus on gentle twists and side bends to move you forward on your soul’s path. The yang (active) meridian of spring cultivates your own inner courage, clarity, and initiative.
June 7th ~ Tranquil Fire (core connection, inversions & forward folds)
At the seasonal juncture of the Summer Solstice it is the element of Fire that offers warmth, radiance, and transformation. Our ritual practice will honor the Fire energy of the Heart and the yang (active) meridian of summer offering deep core connection while cultivating the tranquil qualities of forward folds and inversions to bring a sense of overall balance and equilibrium. Call to your Maha Vedi (fire altar of the Heart) while honoring the season of the Sun and the expansion of Light.
