How Yoga Changed My Life
163. Shed the Snake, Learning to Wrangle the Horse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As the Lunar New Year shifts from the introspective Year of the Snake into the bold, forward-moving Fire Horse, Adrienne, Natalie, and Nora pause—before picking up the reins.
This isn’t about starting over.
It’s about shedding what no longer fits and trusting the growth already in motion.
In this opening episode of 2026, the three reflect on the wins, adaptations, and intentional discomfort of 2025—and how honoring what already happened creates steadier, more sustainable momentum moving forward.
Together, they explore:
- What it meant to shed the Snake—old patterns, over-functioning, and quiet resentment
- How intentional discomfort became a practice of presence, not pressure
- Saying no sooner—and why that mattered
- Listening to the body before the mind rushed ahead
- Meeting moments with awareness instead of reaction
- Why 2026 doesn’t require reinvention—just continuation
Wins aren’t just accomplishments.
They’re adaptations. They’re moments of staying present when it would’ve been easier to push through or check out.
This conversation marks the shift from reflection to movement—without bypassing the pause.
Nothing resets on January 1.
But with the Fire Horse, we move forward clearer, more embodied, and a little more honest about what we’re carrying with us.
A grounded, honest beginning to 2026—together. Giddy Up!
