Manage episode 516124630 series 3682995
If you’ve been waiting for the “right” time to get back to your yoga practice, this is it. In this short but powerful solo episode, yoga therapist Mikah Horn reframes what it really means to begin again, not with a perfect plan or a fresh calendar, but with a single moment of choice.
Mikah shares how to overcome the guilt, hesitation, and perfectionism that keep so many of us from returning to what nourishes us most. She explains the yogic principle of Abhyasa, or steady practice, and how this simple mindset shift can transform how you move through the rest of the year. Whether your mat’s been rolled up for weeks or months, this episode reminds you that your practice is always waiting for you, with patience, compassion, and zero judgment.
In this episode, you’ll learn
- Why you don’t need to wait for January (or Monday) to start again
- The “Fresh Start Effect” and how to create your own version any day of the year
- How to use Abhyasa, steady, consistent practice, to rebuild rhythm and ease
- Five practical steps to reestablish your yoga habit before the new year
