Coming back to our -

At some point, we might drift from our Sankalpa.
Our attention might wander, routines could soften, motivation might fade, and in all realness life gets loud. This isn’t a failure it’s part of our humanness.

This week, Let’s explore how to return to our Sankalpa with kindness instead of criticism. Not by forcing ourselves back on track, but by remembering that our intention is always available to us. Sankalpa becomes a place we can land with steadiness, ease, and support when things feel scattered or off-center we come back home to our Sankalpa.

In practice and in daily life, we’ll work with self-compassion, forgiveness, and the simple power of beginning again. No judgment for where you’ve been. Just a gentle invitation to come back to what matters, one breath at a time.

You don’t have to start over.
You just have to return.

Week 2: Anchoring Sankalpa in the Body

“As you move and breathe with your Sankalpa this week, notice where it feels alive in your body — and where it asks for more softness or support.”

This week, we explore Sankalpa beyond what’s on paper or in your mind. We explore it by moving it into the body.

A Sankalpa isn’t something we think our way into, it’s something we feel deeply. Our Sankalpa lives in our breath, in sensation, in the cues our body offers when we slow down and listen .

When the body feels safe, supported, and not rushed , intention happens more naturally. There’s no forcing or fixing that has to happen, just space to notice.

This week invite slower transitions, conscious breath, and simple movements that feel natural so that you can really get a feel of how your body responds when your Sankalpa is quietly repeated. You may notice a softening, a steadiness, or even resistance but welcome the information.

“Rather than asking, “Am I doing this right?”
We ask, “What do I feel when I move and breathe with this intention?”

Let your Sankalpa become something you inhabit, not just a goal to reach, let it become something that will grow with you each breath, each moment of this lifetime.

New workshop coming twice a week to URU 9 Mile!

OSHO Active Meditation is a dynamic and transformative practice designed for the modern, busy mind. Unlike traditional silent meditation, this method combines movement, breath, sound, and awareness to help release stress, emotional tension, and mental overload before naturally settling into stillness.

This meditation is especially beneficial for those who find it difficult to sit quietly or who feel overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, stress, or emotional buildup. The practice helps clear the mind and awaken a sense of inner freedom and vitality. Rather than forcing silence, OSHO Active Meditation invites an authentic experience of presence through expression and release. Through guided stages, participants reconnect with their body, release suppressed energy, and experience a deep sense of clarity, presence, and inner calm.

No prior meditation or yoga experience is required. All levels are welcome.

Please wear comfortable clothing and arrive with an open mind.

This event occurs Tuesday and Saturday nights, 7:30pm.

Special intro price of $20

Hosted by Elena Lavish

Sankalpa & Vision Board Workshop
with Rebecca Sathre

What is Sankulpa?

Sat= Highest Truth

Kalpa= vow, rule that follows truth, the rule to be followed above all other.
This workshop is an invitation to pause, turn inward, and reconnect with what is quietly asking to be honored in your life.

Sankalpa is not a goal or something to fix. It’s a commitment we make to support ourselves in our highest truth. Tuning in and being real with yourself on what can better support you in your truth this year.

Together, we’ll begin with gentle grounding and guided reflection to help you soften, listen, and clarify your Sankalpa. From this place of inner alignment, you’ll create a vision board as a visual expression of that intention.

This workshop is for anyone longing for clarity, reconnection, and a more intuitive way of setting intentions. No artistic experience is needed just a willingness to listen and create from the heart.

Come as you are. Leave with a Sankalpa that feels steady, nourishing, and true to you.

Kayleigh, one of our Yoga Teacher Trainees, reminds us that yoga is a chance to be mindful of the little things…like the nuances of the hands and the role they play in creating a strong foundation.

We are starting a series of yoga insights from our teachers and trainees and we’d love to hear from you -

Are there any topics you are curious about or want us to cover?

Sound Therapy, as a medicinal experience and ceremony, is an ancient, sacred art. Perhaps the most original of all arts.
Sound is also a science, as sound measurably changes matter. If done with intention, and assigning spiritual meaning, it is a conscious practice and service, as it will release low grade energies still held in the body and elevate our vision with generous presence.
