Preparing for the New Year
Honoring what has been. Opening space for what is to come.
The start of a new year is a natural time to take note of what has come before, honor it (as the best you could do at the time, as karma, as a beautiful or difficult experience, or simply as what was), and then fully release it to create space for present moment creation.
Goals, Intentions, Resolutions, Sankalpa
See here for support on these teachings:
How intention can work better than resolution: a way to prevent giving up and return to the desired focus.
The process of determining a sankalpa focuses us on our goals in a methodical and practical way.

Applying Knowledge of Seasons & Cycles
If you’re interested in aligning with natural events but not sure where to start, here are some ways you might engage, starting with simple awareness and progressing through more active involvement as desired.
You can simply become aware of the current natural phenomena. You may begin to make observations and associations with the energy of this phase.
You can go a little deeper by educating yourself on related themes and practices designed to align with the energy. You might experiment with practices on your own or in community.
You might be inspired to incorporate a particular element into your teaching or service work, such as a reading aligned with the theme, or a yoga pose, breathing practice or mantra, for example.
You can design a class or event that is fully aligned with the themes and energy of this phase.

Customizable Content You Can Distribute as Your Own
Evidence-based education and customizable content for wellness providers
Note: New membership options are available as of December 2025. Now you can get customizable content to distribute as your own for trainings, courses, workshops, series, presentations, and consultations. With prices ranging from $400 to $1,850, you choose the level you need. All content is yours for life with royalty-free distribution rights.
Wellness Resource Center and Yoga Teacher Central have been serving teachers and providers since 2012… because helpers need help, too. You being present to serve others helps our world to get better — but you can’t do that if you’re busy researching, planning, writing, and marketing.
When you’re more inspired and prepared, you’re more effective, and our mission is to help you to be exceptionally inspired and prepared to support others, so you can be even more confident, creative and holistic.
We make life-changing knowledge accessible, and you turn that knowledge into real-life transformation and ever-evolving wisdom.
We’re brainy folks here behind the scenes. But we live from our hearts, and the heart of our work is empowerment. You empower others, and we empower you. In fact, what’s ours is yours. Back in 2017 we began providing an unprecedented service: high quality content that you can customize and distribute as your own.
We exist so that you can get what you need, when you need it. How can we help you today?
Curriculums for trainings, workshops, coaching, and client consultations? Check.
Verifiable research on evidence-based therapies and leading-edge tools? Check.
Focused support for the deeper needs of providers to contextualize and individualize your services? Check.
Content that you can customize and share as your own (without paying distribution royalties)? Yes, even that!
