A Blessing for the Year Ahead

May the new year bring healing where there has been hurt,
peace where there has been unrest,
and compassion where hearts have grown weary.

May it soften what has hardened,
mend what has been broken,
and remind us of our shared tenderness.

May peace begin gently,
in our thoughts, in our words, in the way we see one another,
and from there, ripple outward
into homes, communities,
and the wider world.

May we meet this year with patience, courage, and grace,
choosing understanding over fear,
kindness over indifference,
and love, always, as our guiding light.

Cortisol is the body’s primary stress hormone, and while it is useful in some ways (such as helping you to wake up in the morning), it can also stay elevated when stress becomes too much on the body.

When cortisol is high, you might find yourself experiencing anxiety, racing thoughts, fatigue, burnout, or even trouble sleeping. Yoga reminds us that there are tools to cultivate balance in these moments that feel off kilter.

Yoga For Cortisol is NEW on Yoga with Adriene! This practice is an opportunity to pause for a moment and regulate high cortisol through breath, gentle movement, and reconnecting with a sense of safety in the body.

Try it at the link below.

In the Northern Hemisphere, we’re deep in the season of long nights and short days—a time that naturally invites stillness and turning inward.⁠

This wall-supported Yin Yoga sequence meets you there, offering space for inner listening and gentle release. With the wall as your anchor, each shape supports the softening of deeply held tension in the hips, spine, and nervous system.⁠

Pro Tip: Complete your practice with a savasana of your choice for a fuller sense of integration and release.

Let this be your invitation to slow down.

Yogis!!

“Ordinary beings are chained by conceptualization;
Yogis, who do not conceptualize, become free.
The wise have said that the very cessation of
conceptualization is the fruit of refined analysis.”

— Candrakīrti, Entering the Middle Way, 6:117
Quoted in Thupten Jinpa's Wisdom Academy course Tsongkhapa’s Madhyamaka
