On the Summer Solstice, the Earth’s semi-axis is most inclined towards the sun. This is the longest day of the year. Throughout history and across numerous cultures, the Summer Solstice has been marked as a time of celebration. In Yoga, it is one of the most important periods for strengthening practices.
