Sun Dance Series - Summer Dance

6/21/2017

0 Comments

 
Summer Solstice is upon us, a time to celebrate the light around us and within us. Living in Edmonton, at this time of year we have light from about 4:30 AM - 11:30 PM. This is one reason I love our summers so much, it's such a wonderful time to marvel in and contribute to this growing energy & possibility. Now as we transition into a new cycle, this is a chance to join together and honour our own unique light, the light of the collective, and the forever flowing continuity  between them. So here is a beautiful way to bring your class or family together with a summer themed sun dance. If you missed the first post in this series, be sure to have a look as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series. Happy Solstice!
​Stretch up high, wave to the clear blue sky
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, feel the sand between your toes
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes)
Feet jump back, into the pool
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank)
Belly down, let’s swim all around
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground)
Look up at the sun, and feel it’s warmth
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose
Now look  back at the beach ball
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
& breathe, & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, and letting all the air out when you breathe out)
Feet jump up, into the sand
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, grab a sea shell by your toes
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & pretend to grab a shell)
Stretch up high & hold it to the sky
(Reach both arms up over head)
Now sand castle pose! 
(Each person makes up their own creative version of what a sand castle pose might look like)
Have fun this summer, celebrating all things LIGHT! 

I look forward to sharing more of these unique theme-based Sun Dances in the weeks and months to come. Until then, stay true. Be bright, be bold, be you! 

Love & Light,

Vanessa
