In this first episode of 2026, Lauren invites you into a softer, soul-rooted approach to the new year—one grounded in sankalpa, the yogic practice of heartfelt intention.
Rather than setting rigid resolutions, this episode offers an embodied path of becoming through sankalpa (intention), abhyasa (consistent practice), and vairagya (non-attachment). Lauren reflects on her personal sankalpa for the year—“I am mastery”—and unpacks what it means to align with your deepest truth through gentle discipline and devotion.
You’ll learn:
What sankalpa is and how it differs from resolutions
How to align your goals with your heart’s deepest wisdom
The power of small, sustainable habits (abhiyasa)
Why non-attachment (vairagya) brings maturity and grace
How to regulate your nervous system in busy seasons
The deeper meaning of mastery in yoga and life
Journaling prompts are included to help you clarify your 2026 sankalpa and anchor it in your daily life.
✨ Whether you're craving a more sustainable way to show up for yourself or looking to deepen your practice with intention, this episode will meet you right where you are.
