Celebrate the return to light on Winter Solstice with yoga to live ambient music! The solstice marks the shortest day of the year. Moving forward, each day presents us with more sunlight to share. Move the body through strong + sweet postures. Wash worries of the mind away. Fill the senses with music + candle light. Realign + reset your intentions as we celebrate the re-emergence of light. Live music by Sineqube, the ambient music project of Kevin Holland and Jennifer Dutiel will set the soundscape for the evening. Together, they create original improvised music by orchestrating and layering vast timbral palettes of guitar and voice. Playing with the balance between the gentle, soothing bed of ambience and the uncharted frontiers of experimental music, they fuse elements of both to paint a live aural canvas that is exploratory, soothing and inviting. Follow Sineqube at: fb.com/sineqube sineqube.bandcamp.com sineqube.com Yoga will be lead by Colleen Gallick. Colleen is a 500-hour trained yoga instructor with a wide breadth of experience.

Autism is a bio-neurological disability that impacts the development of the brain in areas of social interaction, communication and cognitive function. While it it is the fastest growing developmental disorder, autism remains largely underfunded. 1 in 59 children are diagnosed with autism. Although diagnoses can be made at age two, most children are not diagnosed until the age of four or even later in life. Children with autism do progress, but early intervention is key. Restorative yoga is a practice of simply learning how to relax and be in the moment. With the use of blankets, blocks, bolsters and straps you will ease into a pose to restore and enjoy the task of doing nothing.
