Early this a.m....about 1:00 or so we awoke our family to catch the rare lunar eclipse. This year the lunar eclipse coincided with winter solstice..the longest night of the year and when the moon sits the highest in the sky. This has not happened for almost 400 years! The last was December 21, 1638.
So today being the shortest day.. a day many celebrate as midwinter marks the turning point where slowly day length will start to get longer.
So a few Sun Salutations this morning is a wonderful way to bring in the rising sun and celebrate that it will be getting stronger everyday.
Happy Solstice everyone!
Namaste.
