Sankalpa is a Sanskrit term in yogic philosophy that refers to a heartfelt desire, a solemn vow, an intention, or a resolve to do something. It is similar to the English concept of a resolution, except that it comes from even deeper within and tends to be an affirmation.
In the Western world the start of the New Year is a great time to make a sankalpa, a decisive commitment for the year ahead like:
- I will think, speak and act positively
- I will have a regular yoga and meditation practice to support my physical and mental health and to be connected with my highest Self
