What is the significance of summer solstice?

The Summer solstice represents the transition a reclamation of power and truth.

Summer becomes a time to work on ourselves and our ability to be the light of truth and find meaning in our journey.

In Tantric Philosophy , when we transition to Summer Solstice, we enter the element of fire, reminding us that we have agency in how we shape our lives.

The Fire archetype is the Wizard who imbues the mundane with the extraordinary, merging human aspirations with divine purpose.

Jenny Roche Dance Artist as well as a Yoga Teacher and loves to combine authentic flow state in both dance and yoga. She is also an Integrative Body Movement Therapist in training, with Linda Hartley and weaves in the principles of thing into her teachings.

Like many of us, Jenny found yoga when she needed it the most. Having practiced on and off for many years and always relishing the space that yoga provides as a busy working Mum, it wasn’t until she stumbled upon the teaching of Tantra, that she really found her own practice and a deeper sense of self in our interrelation beingness.

Jenny decided she wanted to deepen her own practice further and went on the complete her 200-hour teacher training with Authentic Flow Tribe and Satu Tuomela. Authentic flow is a deeply profound practice which draws on the philosophy of Non-dual Shiva Tantra and principles of embodiment. Jenny has also trained in Shake the Dust 50 hours, Embodied Yin (50hours) and Advanced Teacher Training In Tantra Alchemy (100 hour) which is a transformative practice of the heart, body and mind as one. She is also an Ecstatic Dance Practitioner and Mandala Yoga Teacher (30 hours).

Jenny’s style of teaching is compassionate, supports somatics and agency for each flavour of consciousness to move in their own way. She hopes to be able to inspire and encourage her students in the same way that her teachers have for her and to unravel the layers of the self through the practice of embodiment and yoga. Her goal is for students to be able to reach a state of peace and ease, both in the mind and the body and to find acceptance of who you are both on and off the mat.
