“Your beliefs become your thoughts,  Who is ready to manifest their best life? We’re slaying into 2025 -- being present and savoring our moments, basking in our glory & illuminating and uplifting others with our state of being. Whatever your goals and desires to live your best life are, a consistent yoga and meditation practice will help you set clear intentions and help you identify your personal life vision.
Give yourself time and space to contemplate your desires. Connect with your heart. Get into a state of flow with heart-brain coherence. Allow yourself to think big. And most importantly … Set an intention! The power of your intention and your consistent diligence cannot be underestimated. Setting an intention for yourself each day as a part of your morning routine will raise your vibrations to attract more love and positivity and inspire you to channel that positive energy into action. Intention setting is a loving commitment to oneself that joins the heart and mind on a journey to one’s highest calling. Simply put, it is to clearly state what you want to experience and achieve through your actions. Setting an intention can be done in all aspects of your life, from relationships and personal life to your work life. Spend some quiet time and reflect on the experiences, relationships, the feelings, the things that you wish to experience in your life. Take some time to feel the emotions you may feel when you experience your intentions in your life. From there, write down the intentions you want to set. Then, spend time thinking about how having these intentions come into your reality will feel, what does it look like, feel like, what will you be doing? Get as vivid and clear as you can in these steps as feeling the emotions will activate the intentions and allow for them to flow easily to you. Your thoughts that turn into emotions, which inspire actions, are all used to manifest your intentions. Intention Setting Examples:

PAYMENT: VENMO -- @Vicyasa Paypal -- [email protected] NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ JANUARY 1ST ISN’T MAGIC - YOU ARE “Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakes.” – Carl Jung  (This week's newsletter was composed by our dynamic on-demand teacher and full time writer Elinor Cohen. Check out her Instagram HERE and her amazingly empowering advanced & intermediate sessions on our on-demand archives.) Does the idea of a new year stress you out? For some, the prospect of "newness " is exciting but for others it feels like a pressure cooker just waiting to go off. January 1 can feel loaded: there's an expectation that this year is going to be the year. It'll be the year that you make the change, meet the goal, hit that number... that's a lot of pressure. New Year's resolutions are great resets for some people but they're stressful for others. So what if, as we approach this calendar date of January 1, you take that pressure off the holiday menu? What if the resolution is to reset your "reset" thinking and to simply keep on keeping on? What if you explore the idea that nothing needs to change at all and that continuing on your path is indeed the right thing for you? In yoga, we set resolutions every time we come to the mat. Intentions for our practices are opportunities to resolve preconceived notions we may have walked into class with. These resolutions don't require waiting until an arbitrary date on the Gregorian calendar. They can happen at any time and at any place. You don't need to wait until it’s midnight in a crowded room with sparklers to put these intentions into place. Similarly, there's no need to shout about them from the rooftops or announce them to the masses. Yogic intentions (aka resolutions) can be private and primordial. You can know what they are without having to be overt about them. This may allow you to take the pressure to perform them off and allow you to simply be. January 1st isn’t a magical day on which your life will transform. The magic of transformation happens when you resolve to recommit to yourself. That can happen on or off the mat and that is the beauty of yoga. A PEEK INTO MENTORSHIP WITH VICYASA™...

PAYMENT: VENMO -- @Vicyasa Paypal -- [email protected] NAMASTE, Victor Cotto www.YogaWithVictor.com Instagram: CottoVic Facebook: Yoga With Victor - Vicyasa™ "Slowing down is the precursor to Yoga practice because this simple act allows us to consider our thoughts, feelings and actions more carefully in the light of our desire to live peacefully." -- Donna Far  Slowing down is easier said than done. Our holiday schedule is filled to the brim with activities; work, school, cooking, cleaning, organizing and preparing to make the season a joyful experience for others… Most days are planned in advance and are busy. So when the pace changes, we have a natural hesitance to shift down a gear.
Taking a step back just for a moment, pausing to practice... can help you enjoy every minute of the holiday. Find a quiet space in the house where you can reset. Remind yourself of the things that are blessings for you on and off the yoga mat. Then remind yourself it doesn’t matter if things aren’t done perfectly; embrace falling out of a pose, be ok with where you meet your true self on the mat for that moment and bask in your yoga. There are many studies that show that gratitude itself is extremely effective in combating depression. The holidays have the potential to deliver —the love and joy experienced with cherished family and friends, and the crushing seasonal depression that many fall prey to. Take the time, before you are caught up in your own holiday hustle and bustle, to simply identify what you can be grateful for, to reflect upon it, feel it, and maybe even express it. Then we can remember to take a step back, slow down, enjoy the pace of gathering with friends and family, and be right there, in the moment, together. A PEEK INTO MENTORSHIP WITH VICYASA™...

Check out her Instagram HERE and her amazingly empowering advanced & intermediate sessions on our on-demand archives.) Happy (almost) holidays, yogis! The festive season is upon us and with that comes a flurry of energy. An abundance of parties, presents, and pie are jam-packed into just a few short months, all of which can have you feeling both excited and exhausted.This time of the year is somewhat of a paradox. It’s a beautiful time but it can also be riddled with emotions and challenges. Lots of personalities converge and there’s often a buzzy bit of chaos. Gatherings and celebrations can be simultaneously fun and frustrating. While seeing friends and family is wonderful, the disruption of routines can have you feeling off balance and out of sorts.
Aparigraha, the Yama (moral code) that translates to non-attachment, teaches us to release possessiveness over not just material things but also ideas. Then there’s vinyasa, which is a practice of flow, always moving from one pose to another. The very essence of yoga reminds us of the temporary nature of all things. While consistency is valuable, so is the ability to remain agile and flexible, not just in your body but also in your mind. The holidays aren’t meant to look like the rest of the year, so there’s no need to force them to. In this season, give yourself permission to indulge in family time, in laughter, in a bit of excess, and perhaps in a bit of solitude. Allow yourself to enjoy the gifts you receive but even more so, the gifts you give. When the air gets chilly and the days feel frenetic, prayer your hands in Anjali mudra and take a cleansing breath. Anjali mudra reminds us to honor and celebrate the present moment. It is temporary but it is a gift. Your acknowledgment of it and your commitment to remaining present can be your present to yourself. Remember that this body is a gift and the ability to practice yoga is as well. Use this holiday season as a chance to reconnect to body, mind, and spirit. A PEEK INTO MENTORSHIP WITH VICYASA™...
