We’re just days away from a new year.
This is a time when lots of us reflect on the past, thinking about what we’ve done or experienced in the past year.
It is also a time to look ahead and consider what we hope and plan for the future.
Nothing is more critical to growth than learning.
Every time we step into a yoga studio, we can learn something.
Every time we have a conversation with a friend or stranger, we can learn something.
Every time we challenge ourselves to do something new, or let go of an outworn belief, we can learn.
Every time we choose to forgive, or show compassion, we can learn.
Rather than think of what I’m going to DO differently this year (in the tradition of ‘resolutions’) I’m framing my thoughts on the New Year around this idea of learning. What do I want to learn? What areas of my routine are ready to grow? What do I need to let go of to experience a fuller life? What can I do to accelerate my learning? What can I do to support my students on their learning journeys?
