New Year’s Day Yoga Workshop
Sankalpa Shakti: The Power of Inspired Intention
January 1st, 2019 – 2-5 pm at One Yoga
Transitions in life – such as the New Year – awaken the human inclination for self-reflection. Any time we return to the eternal questions “Who am I?” and “How do I wish to live?”, is an auspicious time for yoga and spiritual inquiry. The New Years Yoga Workshop is an annual tradition of reflection and envisioning to support our inquiry.
This year we will explore the power of Sankalpa or “Inspired Intention”. It is not just any intention; it is a vow of heartfelt desire and willful determination. Sankalpa is a statement of guidance from our Highest Self, revealed through listening to our inner wisdom. By allowing us to see clearly what we really seek, Sankalpa empowers the mind to move from intention to realization.
The yoga tradition identifies four essential human desires that compel all our actions: meaning, prosperity, happiness and freedom. Through teaching, practice and self-reflection we will use these desires as the basis for exploring and realizing your Sankalpa. This vow becomes the force that brings our thoughts, choices and actions into alignment with our True Nature – empowering our ability to act while lessening our resistances, uncertainties and fear.
In this workshop, we will:
- Learn the teaching of Sankalpa and the four essential human desires: meaning, prosperity, joy and freedom
- Practice postures, breathing, meditation and chanting to support self-inquiry
- Experience a guided process of meditation, self-reflection and journaling to reveal your sankalpa
- Make a commitment of a 40 day practice to empower your sankalpa

All the best to you and your loved ones this Holidays and New Year.
New Years Retreat
A Day of Reflection, Illumination and Resolution
Sunday January 6, 9:30-5:30 ~ Minneapolis
The holidays of the winter season fall around the winter solstice, the time when “the sun stands still.’ Amidst this time of outer darkness, the holidays are intended to kindle the light within. We gather with loved ones, reflect upon life, remember its challenges and gifts, and celebrate and re-commit to what is most important. Unfortunately, all too often, the busyness, obligations, stress and excessive consumption of the way we celebrate eclipses the essence of the season. The New Year is an auspicious time for self-reflection. Embrace it and we can transform our lives through conscious living. Forsake it we and we lose part of our humanity, and the inner light feels dim and distant. This day long retreat in the city is a gift to yourself: an opportunity to slow down, reflect and reconnect, to remember what you’ve learned, what’s truly important, what needs to change and re-commit to your best life.
This full-day retreat will be a guided process integrating tools, teachings and practices for awakening, transformation and empowerment.
