Embodying Hanukkah [Resources]

As we approach the darkest time of the year, let us reach into our depths to kindle this year’s Hanukkah lights. We invite you to pause and rest into the quality of light as you access our embodiment resources. With gentle yoga and movement, cultivate the qualities of steadiness, centeredness and calm as we face the difficulties in the world.
