This Saturday, December 21, 2019, is the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. It's the shortest day of the year. After this day the days will gradually become longer.
Solstice comes from the Latin word sol, meaning sun, and sistere, meaning to stand still. The sun appears to stand still, or pause, on this day as it reverses its path across the sky.
So in class this week we'll pause, we'll stand still, in the breath and in our poses. We'll enjoy these moments of stillness on the shortest day and longest night of the year.
