Winter Solstice Yoga Workshop

Bloom and Botanicals are running a Winter Solstice Yoga Workshop at The Stables Venue @ R Wray & Sons on Sunday 20 December, from 5pm to 7pm. They've billed it as a 'Winter Solstice Sanctuary', and the whole thing is built around the solstice itself — the shortest day and longest night of the year.

The session is a restorative, candlelit yoga class, so it's less about working up a sweat and more about slowing down. They pair a deluxe restorative practice with hot chocolate and an intention-setting circle, and they frame the solstice as a time to turn inward and rest, to release the stress of the past year and plant seeds for the New Year. No prior yoga experience is required, and they describe it as a cosy, multi-sensory experience for honouring the seasonal shift.

It's held at The Stables Venue @ R Wray & Sons on Norton Road in Stapleford, Lincoln LN6 9JY. Doors open at 4:55pm, and the workshop runs from 5pm to 7pm. Tickets are £27.80, and under-14s can come along as long as they're with a parent or legal guardian. There's free parking at the venue, so you don't need to worry about finding a spot on the street.
