Did You Know?
Welcome to the Shortest Day of the Year!
Solstice
means...standing-still-sun
The astronomical scoop:
The Earth is actually nearer the sun in
January than it is in June -- by three million
miles. But what causes the seasons is something
completely different. The Earth leans slightly on
its axis like a spinning top frozen in one
off-kilter position.
Astronomers have even pinpointed the precise
angle of the tilt. It's 23 degrees and 27 minutes
off the perpendicular to the plane of orbit. This
planetary pose is what causes all
the variety of our climate; all the drama and
poetry of our seasons, since it determines how
many hours and minutes each hemisphere receives
precious sunlight.
The winter solstice is the shortest day of the
year in the sense that the length of time elapsed
between sunrise and sunset on this day is a
minimum for the year.
So we are welcoming the RETURN of the
SUN. Sweet.

Meta's Message
"It is in the shelter of each other that
the people live."
Irish Proverb
The days get longer and the new year
approaches. We often use this time to
reflect on how things have gone in the past year
and our hopes for the new year. Sometimes we
even make resolutions for our best selves for the
new year. Sometimes we feel defeated before
we start because of past years failed
resolutions. Ah, but take heart!
With yoga, each moment is a potential new year,
each day a day for an intention to our highest
selves. We can make an intention now for the
rest of the day or for the next five
minutes. Intentions take us inward and are
always available, including on December 31st.
If you know of someone who has an intention (or
even a resolution) to try yoga next year, you
might let them know about the free intro class
Saturday, December 31st at 1 pm at YogaNow
Mountain Run…a chance to start the year with
yoga.
My intention is to serve you through teaching
yoga and creating a safe and welcoming environment
to practice yoga in community.
Thank you for allowing me the joy of teaching
and keeping YogaNow humming with so many gifted
and inspired teachers…we - Angie, Barbara,
Betheyla, Cheri, Jimmy, Lisa, Michael, Omkara,
Pamela, Susana & Tejal – send our heartiest
wishes for a sweet celebration of sun!
In peace,
With smiles for a fabuloso New
Year,
Meta.
(Namaste in devanagari script-“I bow
to you.”)
