the lightest day
a summer solstice + yoga day celebration
Saturday, June 21st
5:15am-8:30pm
Join us for the inaugural, once-in-a-year celebration honoring both the summer solstice and International Yoga Day. We've created a sunrise-to-sunset journey of specially curated yoga experiences to mark the longest day of the year and celebrate our global yoga community.
A Day of Light, Movement + Community
The summer solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years as a time of light, renewal, and community. International Yoga Day, celebrated annually on June 21st, honors the ancient practice that connects millions worldwide.
At Drift + Oak, we're bringing these two significant occasions together for a special day of practice. From our sunrise "Solstice Awakening" flow at 5:15 AM to our "Solstice Surrender" restorative session at 7:00 PM, each class has been thoughtfully designed to align with the energy of that particular time of day.
Whether you join us for the complete solstice experience or select individual classes that call to you, this celebration offers a unique opportunity to deepen your practice, connect with our community, and honor both the longest day of the year and the global celebration of yoga.
