According to the Dutch writer Tony van Renterghem in his book “When Santa Was a Shaman,” the Santa Claus story has its origins in ancient times and the Christmas Tree goes back to myths about the tree of fire (now the decorations and lights on the Christmas Tree, the burning of the yule log and related traditions). What better way then to connect with the roots of the ancient rites at the heart of our holidays then a tree meditation mixed with a wintry yoga practice outside! Our Elf, Eliot, will guide us through some tree yoga poses and Hafiz will take us through a meditation journey to tune into and appreciate the beauty and grace of a Pine Tree!
