The sacred practice of 108 Sun Salutations is often performed on days that represent new beginnings because of the number's Astronomical and Ayurvedic significance. Intended to build Prana, release blocked emotions and surprise the practitioners with their own capabilities, 108 Sun Salutations is a ritual that all yogis should experience at least once.

The New Year’s Yoga Workshop is an annual tradition of reflection and envisioning to support our inquiry. 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.
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, a statement of guidance from our Highest Self, revealed through listening to our inner wisdom. By seeing clearly what we really seek, Sankalpa empowers the mind to move from intention to realization by bringing our thoughts, choices, and actions into alignment with our Soul.
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

Be engulfed in an expansive environment of sound intended to realign your vibrational energy centers. Sound healing is an ancient concept, also known as sound meditation or sound bathing. Sound healing can reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, create a deep sense of wellbeing, and promote healing that goes well beyond simple relaxation. During this workshop, come be open to the sounds of the gong, Tibetan singing bowls, tongue drum, sansula, chimes, buffalo drum, shakers, and handpan surrounding you while lying down or sitting.
