As we approach the new year, yogic philosophy offers us a very different approach to growth and transformation through the ancient practice of Sankalpa. The word San means "connection with highest truth," and Kalpa means "vow" or "sacred promise." Sankalpa is a promise to connect with your highest truth. A Sankalpa is not a resolution to become someone you're not. It's a remembering of who you already are at your deepest core.
