Sacred Stillness
Winter Solstice retreat
A Winter Solstice Online Retreat
Sunday 21st December 2025 | 2pm-4:30pm | Zoom
Join us for an afternoon of gentle movement, reflection and deep rest as we honour the return of the light at the Winter Solstice.
All sessions will be guided live via Zoom, with time to pause and integrate between practices.
As the longest night of the year gives way to the slow re-emergence of the sun, this retreat offers space to turn inward — to reflect, release, and rest in the stillness of the season. Through embodied practices, journaling, and guided relaxation, we’ll nurture inner warmth and attune to the quiet renewal that winter brings.
This is a time to gather strength, reconnect with your intentions, and find nourishment for body and mind in the deep pause of midwinter.
Whether you’re seeking rest, clarity, or simply a moment to mark the turning of the year — Soft Transitions invites you into a season of replenishment and gentle beginnings.

Meet the Facilitators
Virginia Walker
Yoga Teacher, Doula, Reiki Practitioner
I’m Virginia — a yoga teacher, doula, and reiki practitioner. I support people through life’s transitions with steadiness and care, helping them feel empowered, grounded and connected to themselves.
With over a decade of experience, I specialise in yoga for ageing well, prenatal and postnatal yoga, and accessible, therapeutic practices for those in recovery with learning disabilities, mental and physical illnesses, surgery, or injury. My teaching blends strength and softness, combining intentional movement, breathwork and deep rest to build resilience in both body and mind.
I’m trained in trauma-informed care and work with people navigating recovery, grief, and major life transitions. Whether teaching from my studio in West Yorkshire or connecting online, I offer a space of warmth, clarity, and quiet strength where people feel truly seen and supported.
Hannah Joseph
Yoga Teacher, illustrator, Creative Guide
I’m Hannah — a yoga teacher and artist creating spaces where movement and creativity meet. I guide practices that help people reconnect with their inner world, soften self-judgement, and feel more at home in their bodies.
With a background in art and design and a deep love for somatic practice, my teaching blends Kundalini-inspired movement, breath work, meditation, and creative reflection. My classes are gentle, nourishing, and rooted in seasonal wisdom — a space to pause, to notice, and to begin again.
I work primarily online, sharing classes, courses and retreats that invite introspection and self-expression. Whether on the mat or the page, I believe in the power of slowing down, listening closely, and honouring the natural rhythms within and around us.
