“You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny.”
-Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

A sankalpa is a heartfelt intention—a vow that arises from the deepest truth of who you are. When you live in alignment with your sankalpa, you move through life with clarity, purpose, and ease.

On this auspicious day, when the light is furthest away and the night is longest, world-renowned yoga teacher Sarah Platt-Finger will guide you through an illuminating Tantric ritual designed to awaken the light within and reveal your personal sankalpa. Drawing on ancient techniques that integrate sound (mantra), visual focus (kriya), and energy centers (chakras), this practice helps plant the seed of your intention deep within the unconscious—where true transformation begins.

Through a potent and meditative asana practice, combined with mantra and visualization, you’ll be guided into the subtle channel known as Brahma Nadi—the gateway to your innermost awareness. From this space, Sarah will lead you through a series of techniques to reveal your soul’s intention and root it firmly in your being, like a seed in fertile soil.

This workshop offers tools to align with your New Year’s resolutions—personally, professionally, emotionally, and spiritually. Come prepared to move, reflect, and plant something meaningful that will grow with you throughout the season and beyond.
