In today’s episode of Yoga Solutions, I reflect on the essence of spiritual connection as we move into a new year. Together, we explore how yoga can deepen our bonds—with ourselves, our communities, and the earth—while nurturing resilience and transformation in our lives.
I discuss the Sanskrit concept of Kalyanamitra—spiritual friendship—and how it can guide us toward building stronger, more meaningful relationships rooted in mutual growth and support. I also share stories from my own journey of cultivating community through yoga and activism, highlighting the beauty of collaboration, shared challenges, and the transformative power of connection.
Join me in grounding yourself with intention for the year ahead and embracing practices that honor both personal and collective well-being.
