New Years Day: Tapas & Intentions (1/1/26)

Allison Miller

January 1 2026 • Duration: 51 Minutes

Practice starts at 11:26 - we have about 6 minutes of talk about tapas and a few minutes for journaling at the start.

The yoga sutras says this about Tapas: "The removal of impurities allows the body to function more efficiently." Tapas is also translated often as heat, austerities, self-discipline, spiritual effort, change, or transformation.

"If tapas is based in love and the end of suffering for all beings, then it is simply an enthusiasm for health."

This class introduces the theme of Tapas for this month, our asanas are intended to focus the mind, while also removing impurities. A nice gentle class to help you feel more connected to yourself.
