In this episode, we explore one of yoga's most profound teachings: the power of beginning again. While New Year's resolutions often fade by February, yoga reminds us that renewal isn't tied to a calendar — we can begin again at any moment. Through the story of Misty Copeland's return to dance after devastating injury, we reflect on how forced stillness can become spiritual training, and how every return to breath, movement, or presence rewires the body and mind for healing. Blending yoga philosophy, neuroscience, and a gentle guided meditation, this practice is an invitation to stop chasing who you were and meet who you're becoming. You're not starting over — you're starting deeper.

Host, Cara Meade offers a different path to goals and resolution setting for 2026. Rooted in yoga philosophy, it explores the practice of Sankalpa—a heartfelt intention that isn't about becoming someone new, but remembering who you already are. Through reflection, ancient wisdom, and a guided meditation, listeners are invited to release striving and reconnect with their deepest truth. A gentle companion for beginning the year with clarity, alignment, and grace.

In this episode, we explore gratitude as more than a list or a habit — but as a way of seeing the world. We share how the smallest moments become invitations to appreciate what's already here: the breath, the warmth of sunlight, the quiet beauty woven into everyday life.

You'll also be guided through a short meditation to help cultivate presence, soften the edges of "not enough," and return to a sense of steady, grounded appreciation.

A gentle reminder that joy isn't something we chase — it's something we notice.
