Affirmations are a way to set ideal goals for the new year similar to resolutions. However, affirmations are more interactive and effective than the tradition of making a New Year’s resolution, which we often give up on when we don’t see quick results.

Yoga Nidra is an easy, gentle, guided meditation. Nidra means sleep in Sanskrit, so relax, even sleep to awaken to a new you and New Year!
