New Year Yoga Mala 2026
Greet the new year with a community celebration and a half-day retreat to set you on the path of yoga and Ayurveda for 2026! This annual event is a way to mark the turning of the year, the shift back toward the light after the winter solstice and a chance to set clear and powerful intentions for the months to come, backed by concrete actions. This year I’m offering the Yoga Mala as part of a special half-day retreat which will include:
Ritual: opening mantra and meditation practice, followed by a practice of 108 Sun Salutations as a ritual to reinforce your commitment to your health and wellbeing in 2026
Reflection: share your experiences and goals for the new year as a group
Initiate: launch a 30-day sadhana (spritual practice) of daily pranayama and mantra practice to start the year off with a powerful energetic boost and supportive community behind you.
Expand: after instruction on some basic Ayurveda principals, I’ll teach you how to do a cleanse the gentle, Ayurveda way to reset your agni or digestive fire for improved digestion and fewer colds, cramps, and bloating.
This practice will include mantra, meditation, music and the practice of 108 sun salutations. Don’t worry. Anyone can do this practice because I’ll be offering modified variations of the sun salutation and encouraging rest when you need it to make this accessible to anyone who wants to begin the new year with devotion and dedication to our highest ideals.
Your investment in yourself will also support our community. 50% of your generous donations will go to benefit the local charity CASA LA that supports and advocates for children and families in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
Please register below to join me online or in person. I’ll be live streaming this class on Zoom so you can join from anywhere! If you want to practice in person you’ll get a special experience of practicing with the view you see in the photograph above, plenty of fresh air and the elevated vibrations of your fellow practitioners. Space will be limited so please sign up below and invite a friend too!
This investment in YOU will set the tone for the year to come. Attend the yoga mala, workshops and practice for an excellent 2026!
