Reflecting on 2025, Embracing 2026

Reflecting on 2025, Embracing 2026

As 2025 comes to a close, I find myself looking back with gratitude and joy. This year was about learning to “let my hair down,” stepping into service with openness, and deepening my connection to the community through yoga.
Yoga has always been more than postures on a mat. It is a way of living, a reminder that we are all part of a greater cycle. Whether guiding children in family yoga or supporting seniors in chair yoga, I am reminded daily that we share the same journey: we were once children, and we are all growing toward becoming elders. Each stage of life holds wisdom, playfulness, and beauty.

2025 in Review

• Family yoga brought laughter, curiosity, and the joy of movement.
• Senior yoga offered resilience, gratitude, and the strength of slowing down.
• Community events and retreats created spaces where caregivers, healers, and families could nourish themselves and one another.

Through it all, the love of yoga has been my compass. It has given me the opportunity to serve both the youngest and the oldest in our community, weaving threads of unity across generations.

Looking Ahead to 2026
The year ahead feels like an open invitation. My intention is to continue giving back, to deepen the spaces where people of all ages can gather, breathe, and grow together. I envision:

• Expanding family yoga offerings, so children and parents can share mindful moments.
• Creating more opportunities for seniors to connect, move, and feel supported.
• Offering retreats and workshops that celebrate the full spectrum of life—from playful beginnings to graceful aging.
• Growing the Yoga with Oma Teacher Training Program, making yoga education flexible and accessible online.
• Strengthening my online presence to reach more people across distances, offering resources, classes, and community connection virtually.

2026 will be about embracing joy, cultivating gratitude, and continuing to serve with an open heart. Yoga is the bridge that connects us, reminding us that no matter our age, we are all students of life.
As I step into the new year, I carry with me the laughter of children, the wisdom of elders, and the love of community. May we all find ways to let our hair down, to give back, and to grow together.

With Gratitude and best wishes for 2026!
