News Year's Day Yoga & Burning Bowl 2026
Dates: Thursday, January 01, 2026
Location: Crofton Yoga
In-Person
New Year's Eve Yoga & Burning Bowl Ceremony: Align with Your Purpose in 2026
Start 2026 with clarity, intention, and a sense of renewal. Join us on New Year’s Day for a transformative experience that weaves together the grounding power of yoga with the meaningful symbolism of a Burning Bowl Ceremony.
We’ll begin with a slow, intentional yoga flow designed to help you release physical tension and reconnect to your breath. This mindful movement sets the stage for deeper reflection and intention-setting. Following practice, you’ll be guided through meditation and journaling using a custom workbook to explore what you’re ready to release and what you hope to cultivate in the year ahead.
Our closing ritual, the Burning Bowl Ceremony, offers a sacred space to let go. In a circle of community, you’ll symbolically release what no longer serves you by offering it to the fire. As your written words transform to ash, so too can the old patterns, doubts, or fears you’re ready to leave behind.
Each participant will receive energetic tools to take home as a tangible reminder of their commitment to personal growth and transformation.
