NEWTOWN- Yoga is one of the many types of group exercise classes that the Newtown Athletic Club offers. Twice a year, the Mind/Body program (which includes all Pilates and Yoga classes that the NAC offers) holds an all day winter or summer solstice celebration.

Winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and is celebrated by many cultures because it marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. Yoga studios everywhere gather to welcome back the light and set high intentions for the New Year, typically with 108 sun salutations.

This year is no different. On Dec. 21, the Newtown Athletic Club will host 12 hours of Yoga from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Classes include Power Solstice, Yoga for Newbies, Vinyasa & Balancing, Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga, Chanting and Meditation, Twists, Astrological Vinyasa and 108 Sun Salutations.

A special Ayurveda class will be held at noon where participants learn how to eat to keep their Doshaor energy in balance. Food for Ayurveda will be provided by the NACafe. All classes are available to beginners as well as advanced students.

As its gift to the community, the event is free for NAC members and guests. Guests must live within a 10 mile radius of the NAC and must be at least 24 years of age. The NAC asks that guests come in 15 minutes early to check-in at membership services with a current drivers license. The Winter Solstice class schedule can be found on http://www.newtownathletic.com
