“Do or do not, there is no try.”–Yoda

Every year around this time, there is a dramatic shift in energy and enthusiasm that surrounds welcoming a new year and, just maybe, a new YOU.

Goal setting, vision boards, new gym memberships, new diets & closet clean outs are a few of the things we see people do to start off the new year “fresh”.

But does it always go down exactly the way we plan? Definitely not.

And in our experience, there is one big reason for that: we forget to surround ourselves with a tribe of like-minded people, committing to transformational, positive growth and change.

So this year we are changing the game! Yoga Essence is offering an incredible program to kick off the New Year: 8 Weeks of Wellness. It will be filled with physical, spiritual and mental goals that encourage a healthier, happier you.

Here are 5 reasons why you need to get in on it!

1.       You will finally be the most positive person you know.

How many times have you said to yourself, “I want to stop complaining so much”. A lot right? There is no reason not to be grateful for this life every single day so surround yourself around the right environment to encourage your positive thoughts.

2.       You will keep a journal. 

Starting and ending your day journaling is not a new trick to keeping your mind clear and focused. Journaling has been around for centuries and we think it is time to bring it back, for good. A few sentences or a paragraph a day will make all the difference for your busy, over-stimulated mind.

3.       You will do more yoga (or whatever makes your body feel good).

This one is a no brainer, right? It is scientifically proven that the body and the mind THRIVE off of physical movement, which is why we are here as your cheerleader to get you moving, grooving and feeling like your best self!

4.       You will try new foods!

So many resolutions revolve around “dieting” – but we don’t like that word. Our program will help you to focus in on more nutrient and water-rich foods. The more fruits & veggies you eat, the more your body will naturally crave them. We want to encourage you to fuel your body on a cellular level instead of treating it like a garbage disposal.

5.       Your connections and relationships will flourish. 

The more stable we are with our health and with our goals, the more we welcome others into our lives.  We become more compassionate towards others and we naturally begin to offer up the overflowing positive vibes that we are filling up on!

So are you all in?! Here is the sign up information…we can’t wait to GROW with you!
