2024: A Year End Message From Brandt

Dear Breathing Deeply Students,

As 2024 comes to a close, I feel immense gratitude for spending another year with you. We are a community of remarkable individuals united by a common purpose: to connect, grow, and help through the profound practice of self-knowledge—Yoga.

Yoga teaches us to see ourselves fully by engaging the body, mind, and spirit in ways that transform us into clear-sighted beings. With this clarity, we can make choices that enhance our well-being and positively impact the world around us. This is true freedom—living with awareness, truth, and contentment rather than fear and limited awareness.

As individuals, we want this for ourselves and those around us – who wouldn’t? There is no separation for wanting this for ourselves or others. We’ve all experienced some flavors of yoga, and these insights inspire us to share its benefits. 

In some ways, this year had some darkness to it. Wars dominated the news cycles only to be usurped by divisive politics. It has done nothing for our collective health and well-being. Mental health issues keep increasing across all age groups, with children bearing much of the burden. 

We’re also seeing an acceleration in chronic diseases and syndromes. Conventional ways of combatting these issues are simply not up to the task. Healthcare systems have long overlooked the power of individual agency in shaping one’s circumstances. This isn’t surprising—most people have yet to experience the kind of personal transformation that yoga therapists witness daily. 

People are increasingly seeking ways to help themselves and their families, and we are poised to support them. We may have times of more or less faith—more or less practice—yet, as yogis, we understand personal and collective well-being is available through the wisdom and self-reflecting power of Yoga.

And so, here we are—on the edge of 2025—dedicated to mastering the art and science of yoga therapy and sharing its wisdom for the betterment of everyone. I believe we, as a community, will help alleviate much suffering in the year ahead.

Could we be in a better place at a better time? I don’t think so. 

Let’s do this thing!

Loka Samastha Sukino Bhavantu. May all beings everywhere be free and happy.

Brandt
