Winter Solstice Yoga and Craft Workshop - Healing from Within: Gentle Yoga with Gillian Eaton

Join us as we prepare for the Winter Solstice which occurs on Saturday, December 21. A threshold is a point or level at which something begins or changes. Let’s take the New Year as a point of threshold, a resetting of our bodies and minds to begin again with the best intention and own inner resources.

ABOUT THE EVENT: Take a journey with local Yoga Instructor Gillian Eaton as she guides us through restorative yoga, journaling, mindfulness exercises, and guided self-reflection. In each pose we will ask our body a question, for example, “What do we need to invite in?” and “What do we need to release?” We will do some journaling to find our answers for a few minutes after each pose.

CRAFT: After our yoga practice, we will hand-paint rocks, using either pictures or with a words/phrases to keep or place around town for other people to find and share.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Originally from Northern California, Gillian has lived on Cape Cod for 22 years. She has practiced yoga for over 30 years and has been teaching for 15. She holds a 200 hour certification through National Yoga Alliance. In addition, she has taken extensive trainings with Boston’s Ame Wren, as well as workshops with Coral Brown, Seane Corn, and Tias Little to name a few. She also holds a certificate from Bodhi and Mind Yoga’s cancer-informed teacher training, which provides free yoga to women in any stage of breast cancer treatment and recovery.  Participants will go home with a Winter Solstice-theme gift, courtesy of the Friends of the Sandwich Public Library.

*Please bring a journal/pen or paper/pen, yoga mat, pillow or two, a blanket and blocks if you have them.
