Year end. Seasons have finally changed. Nights are colder and the days short. We feel the call to turn inward to the fire, family and friends.

Symbolically this is a time of growing consciousness and a powerful opportunity to set intentions in our lives. Our yoga practice, our sadhana, is a doorway into our inner life and to the dreams we want to manifest in the new year. As we pass through the longest night of the winter solstice, we remember that the new light of the year will shine brightly on the these growing seeds of our ever expanding intentional life.

We can mark this transition with conscious reflection, heart intentions and joyful celebration. In this time of relative darkness and economic uncertainty, we can celebrate our good fortune and true abundance by sharing our love with others through the ritual of giving from our hearts as an expression of gratitude.

May our yoga practice and our community continue to provide support and light into the new year!

In deep gratitude and joy,
Daniel and Claire

The human contribution is the essential ingredient. It is only in the giving of oneself to others that we truly live.
