Dharma comes from the root dhru which means to support or to bear. From one perspective, our dharma is that which supports and sustains us. Dharma is also that which nurtures us and, in turn, our society. As we practice yoga and gently shed constrictive patterns in our body, mind, and hearts, our dharma (the life that nourishes and sustains us) becomes clearer and clearer and we have less ability to live a life that is out of alignment with our personal truths and less capacity to just “get by.” Our wisdom and intuition begin to guide us rather than familial or societal expectations or conditioning. This is a place of true power and fulfillment.

Please join me on New Year’s day as we gather in community, practice, and contemplation to create a sacred space where we can hear our deeper, truths, wisdom and intuition and give them a voice and a direction. We will dream big and dwell in possibility for a while envisioning 2020 as a blank canvas upon which to design this coming year to live our dharma more clearly, powerfully and consistently. You know you are living your dharma when the work of your life lights you up, evolves your spirit and is in some way a contribution.

Special Notes: Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move in and bring a notebook or journal and writing utensil(s). You will have the option to draw as part of your contemplation so bring markers/pens/crayons if you’d like.
