For the second year in a row that my lover and I spent New Year's Day in full relaxation mode. And it’s become our new tradition. Here's why resting on January 1st is the most strategic thing I’ll do all year.

After a year full of chaos, noise, and nonstop doing, what we truly need isn’t more effort, it’s rest. This season invites us to slow down, release what we’re carrying, and finally give our bodies and minds the break they’ve been begging for.

In yoga teacher training, I’m learning that support isn’t just something we offer—it’s something we must learn to receive. Asking for help is becoming one of my deepest healing practices.
