5 Yoga Classes to Welcome the New Year

The family is gone, the presents have been opened, the parties are over and the stress is finally starting to subside. A new year has begun, bringing with it a new wave of resolutions, intentions and transitions.

Although the New Year is traditionally a time for looking toward the future, it is also important to take time to remember all of our personal growth during this past year in order to step fully forward into the New Year. Consider your many accomplishments and all that you do well this New Year. Let’s celebrate all the ways we are truly great beings.

This week’s featured classes will help you roll on into 2017 with grace, ease, strength & stamina:

  • Happy New Year with Amy Ippoliti: The fresh start of the New Year gives you the opportunity to reconnect to what you want and get your enthusiasm back. Join in with people from all over the globe who are ready to connect back into what they intend for the new year. Focus on a couple of peak poses that must be broken out into parts to achieve, much like your goals. Props Needed: A blanket and a strap.
  • Set the Tone for the New Year with Jason Crandell: This all-around, whole-body practice will set the tone for the New Year. While encouraging you to be mindful of your intentions for the new year, move through hip-openers, salutations, standing poses, inversions, backbends and arm-balances. Connect to the deepest reasons you practice yoga. Props Suggested: Wall space.
  • Manifesting Your Intention for the New Year with Marc Holzman: Happy New Year! Arm balances represent strength, commitment and patience which are the same ingredients required to manifest goals. By working in increments, bakasana (crow pose) with straight arms and eka pada galavasana are demystified. A slow warm up with hip openers, begins on the floor, then up to standing as you build, step by step, to your peak. Props Needed: A strap.
  • Out with the Old, In with the New with Noah Maze: Wring out the old and welcome in the new with this class of twists, lateral bends, backbends and forward bends. Bend your spine in every direction with a focus on your kidney band. Make space for a fantastic new year. Props Suggested: A blanket and a block.
  • New Year’s Resolution with Annie Carpenter: Celebrate your goodness in a well rounded, mindfully moving flow. Consider your many accomplishments and all that you do well this New Year. Rather than look at what you want to fix and make impossible resolutions, let’s celebrate all the ways you are truly great beings. Practice all your beloved poses and toast this miraculous practice and your extraordinary selves. Props Needed: A block.
