It is the darkest time of the year.
For a long time, I was afraid of the dark.
Of the blackness.
Of becoming still.
Of being alone with myself.

I wanted light, movement, answers, connection —
immediately and without pause.
In doing so, I overlooked something essential:
the essence of darkness and its gifts.

Darkness — in every sense — did not come to take anything away from me.
Not to silence me.
It came to teach me.

Stillness.
Peace.
Honesty.

That being alone does not mean being lonely.
That I am enough exactly as I am.
That slowing down allows the nervous system to soften and rebuild trust.

🌑✨ On December 20th at 5 pm, I am offering an online Winter Solstice & New Moon Special —
Return of the Light.

Together we honor the longest and darkest night of the year,
and with it, the gifts that darkness brings:
rest, inner reflection, healing, and the opportunity to release what no longer serves us.

Only through darkness can we truly recognize light.
When we give the dark space, gratitude grows —
for everything that has shaped us
and for what we are now ready to transform and allow to bloom anew.

Together, we celebrate the return of the light
and open ourselves to a grounded, meaningful new beginning on all levels.

This class includes gentle, restorative asanas,
calming and grounding breathwork,
meditation, mantra, and reflective prompts
to support emotional balance, reduce stress,
and help you feel steady and nourished as you move into the holiday season.

Join us for this meaningful and loving gathering.

Big love,
Gabriela 💖
