Joppa Library - Meeting Room
Sankalpa is a short phrase, clearly and concisely expressed to bring about a positive change in one's life. During this practice, we will set our intention for the new year. Then we will end with yoga nidra- guided meditation to lead to an effortless meditation. Each person attending must register prior to the program. Supported by the Joppa Friends of the Library.
