Description

In this special end-of-year episode, join host Lauren Leduc, founder of True Love Yoga, as she guides you through a mindful reflection on the closing cycle of 2024. Lauren explores the yogic philosophy of honoring endings, embracing change, and moving through transitions with acceptance and gratitude. With concepts rooted in yoga’s deep wisdom—such as the cycle of creation, sustenance, and release, as symbolized by the chant of Om—she invites listeners to let go of attachments and fears around change and endings.


You’ll also find journaling prompts woven throughout, offering space for introspection and emotional release. If you’re able, bring a journal, light a candle, and create a cozy space for this guided reflection, complete with a meditation at the end. And if you’re multitasking while listening, let the words flow over you, and come back later if you wish to dive deeper.


Key Themes Covered in This Episode:



  • Embracing the Cycle of Life: Creation, Sustenance, and Release

  • The Power of Shadow Work: Honoring the “dark” emotions and finding hidden gifts

  • Impermanence and Non-Attachment: Exploring yoga’s teaching on acceptance and letting go

  • Santoshya (Contentment) and Swadhyaya (Self-Study): Finding contentment and gratitude in the present

  • Journal Prompts for Reflection and Growth:

    • What are you holding onto from this year that no longer serves you?

    • What emotions have you been avoiding, and how can you honor them?

    • What three things from 2024 are you grateful for, and how have they contributed to your growth?

    • What did you learn from this year’s challenges, and how can you bring calm into the new year?
