Happy New Year, yogis!
Here we are, at the start of another New Year.
It can be easy to get bogged down with unrealistic expectations and big resolutions.
That’s why I like to choose a phrase, or an intention for the year, instead.
Last year, it was “inquire within.” Inspired by my retreat in Panama, I chose this phrase one morning when I noticed it hanging above their coffee station.
I used it last year to turn inwards and ask myself what I really wanted.
This year, I’m choosing the intention “savor now.”
I have a tendency to rush-rush-rush; maybe you can relate to this in the current crazy, tech-heavy world we live in.
But it’s easy to rush through life, to worry about yesterday or tomorrow’s problems, or to think life will be easier/better/slower when _____ (insert future you there).
The reality is, we don’t know that! Life is happening right now, not last week and certainly not next year.
So that’s my phrase for 2026: “Savor Now.”
I’ll try my best to slow down, put the phone away, make eye contact, stop multi-tasking, notice when I’m worrying about future Kelly’s problems.... and just BE PRESENT in the current moment.
I know it won’t be easy. I’m not perfect and I won’t always get it right.
But it’s my intention for the year...
How about you? Do you have a phrase, word or mantra for 2026? I’d love to hear it!
Here’s to a healthy and chill 2026. We can’t wait to practice with you soon.
