Winter Solstice Kundalini Aquarian Sadhana - FREE

Register HERE

Join Shirley (Siri Pritam) for Aquarian Sadhana to honor the start of the Winter Season. Aquarian Sadhana, beloved to Kundalini yogis, occurs during the ambrosial hours of the early morning and is a practice of meeting ourself before the sun rises and paying homage to the sacredness of the day. Winter Solstice marks the height of Moon energy and and an invitation inward into the sacred quiet of winter to cultivate our intuition. This 2.5 hour practice is devotion in action for the mind, body, and soul. This special offering is free to the community, with donations accepted. A few additional notes: *Please come in silence. We honor this sweet time of the morning by not talking much and practicing together. *This is NOT a kundalini class with instruction - just guidance on leading the kriya and meditation. *You are welcome to modify or rest at any time during the practice. *If you can, please bring a pillow or cushion and a meditation shawl (optional). Wear light clothing and bring a head covering such as a scarf, shawl, or hat (white or color, not black). Shirley will provide tea for after class. Feel free to bring fruit or a treat to share after class, if you would like!

The Sacred Pause: A Winter Solstice Kundalini & Gong Journey

Register Here:

As we arrive at the darkest day of the year, we are invited to honor the quiet wisdom of stillness. Sacred Pause is a 2.5-hour Kundalini yoga experience designed to help you slow down, restore, and realign with your inner light as we move through the sacred gateway of the Winter Solstice.

Our journey will begin with powerful Kundalini warm-ups to awaken and circulate energy through the spine and breath, followed by longer, yin-like and restorative postures that encourage deep release and inward reflection, followed by an extended gong bath and Kundalini Meditation

This class is appropriate for all levels—from beginners to experienced practitioners—with modifications and variations offered to meet each body where it is.

The pacing will be intentionally slow and meditative, honoring the stillness that this season calls forth. Together, we will move from activation into surrender, from doing into being—inviting a sense of deep renewal.

The practice will weave in breathwork, chanting, and a long, immersive gong bath for sound healing and integration. You’ll be guided to rest into vibration and silence, allowing body, mind, and spirit to harmonize.

We’ll close with tea and light snacks in community—nourishing the heart as we gently return to the world, grounded and glowing.

SLIDING SCALE $44 -$66
