When the sun begins its southern journey on June 21st, a subtle shift takes place — not only in the skies, but within us.

For those who are willing, this is a time to become more still, more inward, more conscious.

You don’t need to twist your body into complicated shapes or meditate for hours (although I would recommend keeping your spine straight and practising downward dog postures). Why? Because postures like downward dog help activate the spine, improve circulation to the brain, and bring a gentle alertness to both body and mind — preparing you to receive more from your practice.

Even simple acts — a few minutes of yoga, meditation, or prayer, done with awareness — can unlock profound inner possibilities during this time.

Why?

Because your system becomes more receptive, your energies more aligned.
What is difficult to access on an ordinary day may become effortlessly available.
This is not philosophy. This is yogic science.

Just as you tune a radio to the right frequency, you can tune your body and mind to the rhythms of nature.

So on this International Day of Yoga, don’t just perform.
Participate.
Sit. Breathe. Be still.
Let the body become still — and the mind will follow.

The outer sun is turning.
Let the inner sun rise.
