Happy New Year! It’s so good to be back for another season of Yogaland.

My wish for you in this new year (and new decade!) it’s to develop compassion for yourself. And in this episode Jason and I talk about why compassion plays such a huge role in personal development and why you have to learn to be kind to yourself before you can show up for others in your life. 

We talk about:

* The difference between self-care and self compassion

* Why our brains are wired to cling to the negative and ignore the positive

* I share my favorite 3-part definition of self compassion from author Kristin Neff

* How we use these principles to develop a meditation habit that sticks in my online course, Start Your Year with Self Care (starting next week!)
