FINAL READING
This year I do not want
the dark to leave me.
I need its wrap
of silent stillness,
its cloak
of long lasting embrace.
Too much light
has pulled me away
from the chamber
of gestation.
Let the dawns
come late,
let the sunsets
arrive early,
let the evenings
extend themselves
while I lean into
the abyss of my being.
Let me lie in the cave
of my soul,
for too much light
blinds me,
steals the source
of revelation.
Let me seek solace
in the empty places
of winter’s passage,
those vast dark nights
that never fail to shelter me.
Winter’s Cloak by Joyce Rupp, amzn.to/3TzZF9J

on this night, the darkest evening of the year, my mum would always run us a hot bath, with no artificial light, candles only. we would listen to her read robert frosts stopping by woods on a snowy evening poem, and go to bed early for a long winters nap... i do it myself now
Whoaaaaaaa 🥹 that is so beautiful. Robert Frost is perfect reading for this time of year. ❤️📚 My daughter loves “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” 😭❄️ thanks for sharing
What a different upbringing then me. I grew up in the Bronx and I remember cold nights with no hot water or heat. My mother would boil water and pour it into the bathtub for us to shower. Candles and Robert Frost sounds so much more enjoyable. lol
@@cattunick-cabeche789 oh my gosh yes, our hot water ran for maybe 10 minutes, we used to boil and add water to it too… it felt so much like little house on the prairie, so cozy❤️
@@cattunick-cabeche789 oh friend, this sounds like a rough time... sending you and your inner child love
Loved this! Winter sleigh was a fun and unexpected challenge. I love the creative asanas, but the poems you read at the end of the practice might be my favorite part.
oh yay! i'm so glad these parts of class resonated. thank you for your lovely comment.
I am so grateful for your lovely piece of body movement tonight ❤ I was in much need of some peaceful time in the company of candle lights and your soothing voice! ❄️🔥💧And the poem at the end..... wow! It speaks volumes. Thank you ☀️🌬🌨
thank you for this poetic comment. i appreciate you! have the loveliest season!
I did have a favorite pine tree growing up. It was in the backyard of my childhood home and was a blue spruce.
Love! We always had a blue spruce Christmas tree going up. So beautiful! Thanks for sharing! ✨🌲🙏🏽
Happy Winter Solstice !!! This is a great start for the season 🌲❄❤
Hiiiiii!! So so so glad you enjoyed this one. Thank you for being a member. It means so much to me! ✨❤️🌲❄️
Such a beautiful practice I felt so sweet making my winter hat and lil pinecone 😊💖✨ and winter sleigh was a nice surprise! Happy winter and early Christmas!! 🎄😄✨❤️🙏
aw thank you friend. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
After 14 years of practicing yoga I always welcome all your creative poses! I loved evergreen and winter sleigh, and really all the changes you make in the poses are so nice to give it a change! Thank you Alison :)
Thank you for this beautiful comment. 14 years is such a long time! Thank you for sharing yoga. ✨🙏🏽 I’m coming up on my 10 year anniversary. 😭 it’s been interesting to watch and i how teach and practice evolve over time. See you soon!
Held a women's solstice gathering with fire circle and woke today and had ceremonial cacao outside before doing yoga.
Oh that sounds so magical and powerful line-up! ☕️
Happy Winter Solstice! I just found you and am so thankful for this practice today. Redwoods and cedars, sleigh and evergreen poses. Namaste!
Oh thank you for this lovely comment! Love your favorites. :) Hope you're having a beautiful winter season so far!
WOW! What a treat to find you today! I'm a seasoned yogi and this was exceptional! Thank you for this lovely practice! I started a new tradition this year of baking my grandmothers cookies and cakes from her recipe book I was gifted at her passing. It's like a hug from her. Happy Winter Solstice!
oh hello!! love hearing from seasoned yogis! :) i love recipes as traditions... thank you for sharing this!
So good! There was a giant Blue Spruce tree in the front yard of my childhood home that I spent a lot of time sitting under in that perfect hiding spot. I only realized much much later, as an adult, how much that tree served to protect me emotionally and spiritually from the chaos around me. Thank you for the lovely practice and reminder of my old friend 🌲
aw thank you for this lovely comment. i feel the same way about a big maple in the front yard of my childhood home. I can still smell her fallen autumn leaves... its makes my heart ache, in a good way :). I'm so glad your spruce was a place of solace for you. thank you for being here.
white pine. Sleigh pose. :)
Nice and nice!! Happy Winter!
Happy Winter ❄️ Solstice
Happy Krampus 👹 Season
Hope you have a wonderful Yuletide season 🎄
Yesss!! 👹👹👹 happy solstice season to you!
@@moonmedicineyoga looking forward to Wolf Moon 🌝 yoga this month
Happy Yule to everyone!
Yessss! Loved ringing in winter with this community. Happy new year!
I do have a favorite pine tree hahaha! It is the tree at the house I grew up in. It started small like me but is not so, so tall. Several beloved pets have their resting place between its roots and even though it is no longer a part of my family, I remember it.
Oh this is so beautiful 😭 i was pleasantly surprised to read so many comments with favorite trees. Yours hits me right in the heart though… I relate deeply. ❤️✨ thank you so much for sharing. It’s lovely that this tree has a home in your memories.
I woke up with the hope that you would post a video for today, and you have! What a blessing, thank you x
OH yay! I'm so glad I could be here for you. Have you tried the new Winter Restorative yet?
this was really wonderful, i love all your unique poses & variations. my ascendant is 1 degree capricorn so this time of year is my favorite, i feel the themes of winter correspond perfectly to my personality & lifestyle. the poem you shared i relate to especially as i LOVE the darkness, the long winter nights, i look forward to it all year. Also my favorite evergreen tree is the beautiful ancient southern magnolia! thanks again, namaste x
I've also learned to embrace the darkness! I didn't realize that southern magnolias are evergreens -- youve given me a nice rabbit hole to go down today haha. Thank you for being here and for your lovely comment.
My favorite evergreen tree is a giant sequoia at the park near my home. I think of it as my mother tree.🌲
This practice was such a comfort--I can see myself coming back to it when I need a hug during these difficult winter months. Thank you so much Alison ❤
You are so welcome! The giant sequoia also has a special place in my heart. Sending a big hug for the New Year! See you soon!
Ponderosa pine is my favorite evergreen 🌲 thank you for a wonderful practice.
My Ponderosa pine is my second favorite.
Yesss so many votes for the ponderosa pine. Thanks for being here!
Thank you for this beautiful practice. It allowed for deep emotional release. I loved the poem very much. My favorite evergreen is the Eastern Hemlock.
Thank you for this beautiful comment. I'm so glad the class resonated - i love the hemlocks, too!
What a beautiful practice! Thank you for bringing in so much thoughtful symbolism!
Aw i'm so glad you enjoyed it! thanks for the kind words
Douglas Fir 🌲💚
Ohhh a classic! I love the Firs! Hope you're having a lovely winter season so far.
I found you today for the first time when searching for a winter solstice class. This class was absolutely beautiful and I will be coming back to check out more of your practices. My favorite evergreen is the concolor fir... their scent is like no other, they are a gorgeous blue minty color, and I love running my hands over their long, soft needles. 🌲
Hiii! I'm so glad you found the channel and enjoyed class. I'm delighted to learn that so many folks have favorite trees! Thank you for sharing yours. I was not familiar with this one!
❤ this year is completely different in my life ❤ I'm on maternity leave 🥰 soo blessed and over the moon. As I am different busy, this winter I can eventually take a deep breath. 😊 this special time of year I slowed down 🎉 these beautiful practice's helps me to relax even more. Thank you kindly for your astounding work, every time on the mat and under the moon I feel magical 🙏 ❤P.S. your tshirt is wonderful! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and joy with us! 🎉❤❤❤❤
Oh congrats on the new baby! And thank you for your kind words. I am so glad you've been able to slow down and that this class could be a part of that. sending you so much love! what is your baby's name?
My daughter and I loved the sleigh pose
Aw so glad you could share this practice together. Happy New Year!
Thanks! I love how much effort you put into your videos!
Oh friend.... thank you sooooo much for this generous gift. I appreciate your words even more!!
Beautiful practice. Loved snowy owl. One of my favorite winter traditions is a First Day Hike.
Ooooo a winter hike sounds so nice! Are there good trails near you?
A perfect yoga practice for the season. Happy Winter Solstice! ❄❄❄
Aw i'm so glad! Happy season to you, friend!
“Sleigh” pose. Fun shape to create
Yes!! That was my fave too ✨
Thank you, Allison! Happy Solstice!
Same to you! ✨🌲❄️❤️🙏🏽
loved this whole practice, just what I needed to connect with winter's magic. incredible poem too. thank you. bright solstice 🌟🌠❄
solstice blessings to you! thank you. I'm so so glad you enjoyed.
Like a Western Red Cedar
Beautiful choice! It's been so fun reading through everyone's favorites.
Owls are my spirit animal and the poem at the end speaks directly to me. This class was made for me tonight I think hehe...Thank you!
Oh, I also feel a connection to Owl! Glad to hear she is a guide for you too. Thanks for being a part of this class.
Thank you! I'm having my long private Yule-evening tonight, with a good christmas movie, this yoga, some christmas stories reading, setting an intention, drawing a card and a foot bath. Good times :) Merry Christmas and Vrolijk Kerstfeest!
Finally catching up on all these lovely comments. Your yule evening sounds so beautiful and intentional. I hope it was everything and more. I don't think I've ever seen "Merry Christmas" in Dutch before - is that Dutch? haha Thank you for being here and for your sweet look into your Yule practices.
That Sleigh pose looks super cool but was not fun for my low back. Great practice, though. Solstice Blessings to All.
Ahhh yes the sleigh pose is a deep back bend for the lumbar. Thank you for sharing your experience and honoring your body! I'm glad you enjoyed it otherwise. I hope you're having a lovely winter season so far!
Solstice Blessings to one and all🧘🏻♀️✨⭐️
Thank you for such a beautiful practice
So glad you think so. Happy season to you!
Thank you, Alison. This was lovely. My favorite pose was winter sleigh. Happy Solstice and happy holidays!
You are so welcome, Pam! I hope you had a great start to the new year!
Beautiful practice, perfectly pitched for the season. Lovely music, and great instructions and inventiveness. Thank you 🎆🙏
My favorite evergreen is a canaan fir 🌲 thanks for this festive practice!
My pleasure! I love all the fir trees, tbh. :) Winter blessings to you!!
Smiling doing the adorable Snowy owl pose! : ) Loved evergreen bough - and sleigh felt sooo good. With the full moon in the window and candles lit, this was awesome to catch up to today! This practice showed me surrendering to winters dark to allow the returning light when its ready, thank you!
Thank you for this poetic comment! I am so glad all of these poses spoke to you. You set such a lovely atmosphere for your practice. I love it! Happy New Year, friend!
blue spruce tree & pinecone & flame/candle🙏
Yesss! Thanks for sharing! I love blue spruces too. 🌲🩵✨
So beautiful, thank you kindly, just perfect for today's cloak. I love the poem at the end so much, reframing darkness as a comfort. The leaning evergreen tree was a new one to me, loved it! My fav evergreen is the gentle norfolk pine!
I love how you put that “reframing darkness”. I have definitely been learning to love the winter more and more thanks to this work. I’m glad it’s resonating with you. 🙏🏽 I’m looking up the gentle Norfolk pine now. I just love the name! ☁️🌲☁️
We have Bristlecone Pines here in Nevada and they are my favorite pine. I am impressed with their ability to thrive and they are usually very old. They have learned to live in harsh conditions so they are often short (like me), uniquely shaped by the wind, and thick in the trunk (like me).
Oh i have such a deep love for old trees… ugh. I have only ever been to Vegas and had layovers in Nevada - I'd love to go and stay for a while sometime. Especially now knowing that there are cool pines there. I giggled at your physical comparison to the pines as well - lol! Thanks for being here.
SO happy to have found your channel! I loved the candle pose. My favorite evergreen is the Holly tree and I celebrate the winter solstice volunteering for the Waterspirit service in Rumson NJ. You can watch it live on their you tube channel. Peace and Love to all. Om Shanti
I'm happy you found your way here too!! Volunteering over the holidays is such a beautiful seva tradition. Thank you for helping the community. Good to know that it's livestreamed too! Happy Winter!
Loved this one! Was looking forward to it all day! I loved Evergreen Bough and Evergreen tree. Hard to pick a favourite. My most favourite evergreen tree is a black spruce. We have them on our property at our cottage and they are so beautiful. Blessed Winter Solstice. Thank you so much.
Oh great!! And thanks for sharing about the black spruce. I have been looking up so many trees bc folks have been sharing their favorites. It’s been so fun and a delightful surprise to see that so many people even have favorite trees. 🌳 I love this community. 🤍✨🌲 happy solstice season and happy new year! 🙏🏽
Thank you for this soft practice at 4pm decided to have ME Time. ❄️✨
Yesss good for you! Happy season!
Woah, I've just discovered you and your practice. I facilitate full moon ceremonies, and I'm a yogi too, so I'm IN LOVE with your concept of seasonal and moon stage flows. Thank you for being brave and putting your inspired ideas out here for us all!!! Cannot currently pick just 1 fav from this video, but I'm thinking I'll go visit the tree that allowed me to harvest it's beautiful top for my Christmas tree last year. I've been waiting for it to recover from such a shocking pruning last year. This spring I will reshape her so that her beauty can continue to grace the landscape in my piece of heaven in BC🌲😍
Aw I love this. Please let me know how it goes with the tree 🌲 I’m so glad you found your way here. And yay for more moon ceremonies out there - I miss hosting those in person. They were almost always women’s circles (organically) and every one was so moving and powerful. I’m sure yours are beautiful! 🙏🏽
I loved the short with you and your daughter! I am excited for you, too!
Aw thanks! Shes very much along for the ride even though shes not really sure whats going on! hahaha its the best. Thanks for being here. ✨
A beautifully planned practice - thank you for the delightful goodies of solstice specific poses. I love many evergreen varieties - and one of my favs I see almost daily is a cypress. I am partial to the hindu goddess Sarasvati and greet this cypress as Sarasvatree and always give her a little hug:)
Thank you! glad you enjoyed. I love your Sarasvati/tree connection - that is so sweet! Happy winter season to you!
Merci Alison! Superbe flow et seance! Quelle belle imagination et imagerie pour souhaiter la bienvenue a la saison hivernale! Je te souhaite un bel et chaud hiver - ainsi qu'a toute ta communaute qui ne cesse de grandir. A tres bientot magicienne des saisons et de la lune. 🙏🧡💛

Thank you so much for this beautiful practice! I love the seasonal transitions and the feeling of starting fresh. So many hide from the beauty and energy that winter gives us. Your practice celebrates this season of looking in, sheltering, resting and healing. Love it!! ❤
