Awakening Joy is a unique, ongoing yoga course devoted to optimizing well-being, purpose, power and passion in your life!

Do you make your day as joyful and significant as it can be? Is each day a celebration of your passion? The course is based on research involving nine principles and practices of extremely happy people:

1. Intention - a daily commitment to joyful living
2. Accountability - accepting full personal responsibility for actions, thoughts, behaviors and circumstances
3. Identification - developing a full awareness of what makes you happy
4. Centrality - insisting on happiness as a central theme of your life
5. Recasting - choosing to turn problems into opportunities
6. Options - being open and flexible to new possibilities
7. Appreciation - being grateful for what life offers, reveling in the moment
8. Giving - giving richly to yourself and others
9. Truthfulness - speaking and living with integrity
