Phoenix Rising: A Summer Solstice Yoga Immersion

In this unique summer solstice workshop, sisters Stel and Angelique Coombe-Heath unite from across continents to guide you through a profound journey of personal transformation. Drawing on the archetypal energy of the phoenix rising from the ashes, this yoga and meditation experience invites you to shed what no longer serves you and step into your most authentic, radiant self as we close out the year.

The summer solstice marks a powerful turning point in the wheel of the year – a time of peak light, abundance, and vital energy. This transformative yoga immersion helps you harness this potent solstice energy to set clear intentions, release old patterns, and embrace new beginnings.

Begin your solstice celebration with a sacred fire ritual designed to help you release what no longer serves your highest good. Fire, the element of transformation and purification, creates a powerful container for letting go and making space for new growth. This ceremonial practice connects you with ancient wisdom traditions while honoring the transformative power of the solstice.

Move through mindful yoga sequences designed to honor your body and awaken your inner vitality. These gentle movement practices integrate breathwork and body awareness, helping you connect with the phoenix energy of rising strength. Perfect for all levels of yoga practitioners, from beginners to experienced yogis.

Surrender into deep restoration with yin yoga poses held in stillness. This meditative yoga practice works with the body’s energy meridians, releasing tension stored deep in connective tissues. Yin yoga creates space for profound healing, helping you access the stillness necessary for true transformation.

Experience powerful breathing techniques that regulate your nervous system, increase energy flow, and deepen your mind-body connection. Pranayama practices enhance vitality and prepare you for deeper states of meditation and self-awareness.

Close your solstice journey with a transformative meditation practice designed to help you connect with your inner wisdom and set powerful intentions for the year ahead. This guided visualisation supports you in clarifying your vision and anchoring your phoenix energy as you rise into your next chapter.

The summer solstice represents the peak of yang energy – abundance, expansion, and outward expression. Yet it also marks the turning point toward increasing yin energy – a reminder to balance action with rest, doing with being. This yoga immersion honors both aspects, helping you harness the vital fire energy of the season while cultivating the inner stillness necessary for sustainable growth.

By practicing yoga and meditation aligned with natural cycles and seasonal rhythms, you deepen your connection to the earth’s wisdom and your own intuitive guidance. This solstice celebration offers a powerful opportunity to align your personal intentions with the transformative energy available at this pivotal time of year.

The phoenix, a universal symbol of death and rebirth, represents our infinite capacity for renewal. Just as the mythical phoenix rises from its own ashes, transformed and renewed, we too can release what no longer serves us and emerge stronger, wiser, and more radiant. This yoga immersion works with phoenix energy to support your personal transformation, helping you:

• Release limiting beliefs and old patterns
• Transform challenges into opportunities for growth
• Rise into your authentic power and potential
• Embrace new beginnings with clarity and confidence
• Honor the cycles of death and rebirth in your own life
