New Year, Same You
January is full of advice about who you should become. This is a morning about who you already are, and what you want the year to be for.
In four hours at Wainwright House, we’ll use yoga, quiet and some writing to arrive at a sankalpa. That’s one plainly worded intention you can use to make everyday decisions, from how you spend a Tuesday to what you stop agreeing to. No resolutions, no overhaul, no experience needed.
What to Expect-
Yoga practice suitable for all bodies- including total beginners as well as seasoned practitioners.
-
Conscious breathing that actually helps you feel more at ease in your body.
-
Guided and suitable for people who have never practiced meditation before, and those with monkey minds they can’t switch off! This will include a guided Yoga Nidra or “yogic sleep”.
-
Healthy & delicious food and a range of teas, coffee and soft drinks are provided.
-
We will use the practical framework of Rod Stryker’s The Four Desires to help you pinpoint your sankalpa—a clear, deliberate statement of purpose designed to cut through mental clutter, focus your energy, and bridge the gap between what you want and how you live your life.
