Tune into your core values, create meaningful resolutions and get inspired for the year ahead.
- £25 -
Are you clear and focused about what you want in 2026? Do you feel inspired and excited about the year ahead?
January is the time of New Year’s resolutions, but, if we’re not careful, our resolutions can be the same old list of things we feel we ought to do (or not do!) rather than things that truly support our inner desires.
In this extended session we will use our yoga practice to free the body and focus the mind, helping us tune into our core values and what we really want from the year ahead. We will check in with the “why” behind our goals and set intentions that are aligned with the kind of person we want to be.
The practice will use the chakra-system and learnings from Positive Psychology to provide a template for our wellbeing; from our physical health, to our emotions, our personal power, our relationships, our ability to express ourselves and finally to a vision for the year that feels aligned to our future best selves.
The session will involve a number of short yoga practices, suitable for all levels, interspersed with the opportunity for rest, reflection and (optional) journaling.
By the end of the workshop you will have connected to your whole body, from your roots to your crown. You will have had some fun, gained clarity for the year ahead and feel motivated, inspired and ready to step forward into 2026!
This class is for everyone who loves yoga and self-enquiry. Come join other students who have made this session their annual kick-start to the year.
Please Bring :
- a journal/ notebook and pen (optional, you can sit in self-reflection if you’d rather not write)
- your yoga mat (or you can borrow one from the studio)
- warm layers and water
About Laura
Laura has been teaching yoga for 9 years and has been an avid student of all things “wellbeing” for over 20 years. She is interested in how ancient wisdom and modern science intersect and is driven to keep learning, and keep sharing, tools that can help people thrive.
Right back in her school days, Laura was interested in both science and the arts, studying A-Levels in Biology, Maths and English, and then going on to gain an MA in English Literature and Language from Oxford University. For 7 years, Laura worked for the retreat company, Wildfitness, alongside pioneers of the natural health and fitness world. In 2015, Laura read her first books on Positive Psychology (the “science of human flourishing”) and has since completed four separate courses on the subject.
Laura loves yoga for the way it combines the physical, mental and spiritual, creating an holistic system for achieving vibrant health in body, mind and soul. Yoga is a path to self-knowledge, and understanding ourselves is arguably the most powerful thing we can do to enhance our wellbeing. By combining the ancient wisdom of yoga with more recent developments in psychology and science, we can find illuminating tools for self-enquiry.
