The Aligned Heart 2027
A Year of Living Your Practice
A yearlong community devoted to bringing what we practice into the way we actually live.
Through ritual, embodied practice, seasonal rhythms, and shared experience, we return again and again to what is steady, meaningful, and alive within us.
We have a rhythm for the year.
And ritual to support the rhythm.
And room for what we cannot yet know.
Living Your Practice
In 2027, we’ll move together through the seasons and the four aims of life, exploring practices drawn from yoga, Ayurveda, Jyotisha, somatics, breath, meditation, ritual, rest, and embodied awareness.
The invitation is to live your practice. Let what we cultivate together shape how we meet change, relationship, purpose, beauty, uncertainty, and the everyday moments of our lives.
Crossing the Threshold | January
Our 2027 journey begins January 9 in person and January 10 online.
January is our threshold month: A time for orientation, community, reflection, intention, and preparing for the year ahead.
You may join anytime in January, and enrollment closes January 31. After that, the circle closes to new members for 2027.
Membership begins when you enroll and is paid in 11 monthly installments, with your first payment due at registration. Your membership continues through the completion of our 2027 journey in December.

Our Year Unfolds in Four Movements
Rather than moving through a new theme every month, 2027 will follow a slower seasonal rhythm.
Each part of the year will be held by one of the four aims of life, the Purusharthas, giving us space to explore support, aliveness, purpose, and freedom more deeply.
We’ll spend several months with each inquiry, allowing the practices, conversations, rituals, astrology, Ayurveda, movement, breath, and reflection to deepen over time.
Support, Grounding, and What Sustains Us | Artha
February through April
with the Spring Equinox as our seasonal portal
We begin with the ground beneath us.
Artha invites us to explore support, resources, stability, nourishment, belonging, and the ways we create a life that can truly hold us.
This season asks:
What helps me feel supported enough to fully inhabit my life?
Beauty, Desire, and Aliveness | Kama
May through July
with the Summer Solstice as our seasonal portal
Kama turns us toward beauty, pleasure, relationship, creativity, sensuality, and the capacity to receive experience. This is an invitation to become more available to what is meaningful, nourishing, and alive.
This season asks:
What opens me more fully to the experience of being alive?
Purpose, Participation, and Right Action | Dharma
August through October
with the Autumn Equinox as our seasonal portal
Dharma asks us to consider how we participate in the world.
We’ll explore purpose, responsibility, contribution, inner authority, meaningful action, and the ways our lives become expressions of what matters most to us.
This season asks:
What is mine to live, offer, and embody now?
Freedom, Release, and Spaciousness | Moksha
November through December
with the Winter Solstice as our seasonal portal
Moksha invites us toward release.
We’ll explore freedom, surrender, completion, spaciousness, and the difference between holding tightly and allowing life to move through us.
This season asks:
What becomes possible when I no longer need to hold everything?
Four Seasonal Portals
At the Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox, and Winter Solstice, our regular rhythm opens into a longer seasonal gathering.
For Full Members, these become half-day immersions in the Sanctuary: Time to slow down, practice deeply, gather in community, and experience the season through the body.
Online Members may also choose to join these in-person gatherings when space is available.
The details will emerge with the season, leaving room for ritual, movement, rest, reflection, creativity, and whatever the moment asks of us.
How We Practice
The Aligned Heart is not built around one method.
Throughout the year, we draw from a range of practices that help us listen more deeply, live more intentionally, and bring what we are learning into everyday life.
Depending on the season and what is alive within the group, our time together may include:
Yoga and restorative practice
Breathwork and somatic awareness
Meditation and guided reflection
Jyotisha and seasonal astrology
Ayurveda and living in relationship with nature
Ritual and seasonal observance
Sound, resonance, and subtle-body practices
Journaling and contemplative inquiry
Gentle movement and embodied exploration
Occasional flower essences, creative practices, and other supportive tools
These practices are not meant to become another list of things to accomplish.
They are ways of returning. Ways of noticing.
Ways of listening for what is steady beneath the noise.
Your practice is not separate from your life.
Your life is where your practice becomes real.
Two Ways to Engage
Both membership paths are part of the same Aligned Heart community and move through the same seasonal arc.
The difference is how much of the year you want to experience in person.

Scholarship support is available in limited amounts.
A portion of 2027 membership revenue will be set aside to help make Aligned Heart more accessible. If finances are the primary barrier, please reach out.
Participation Without Pressure
There will be more available to you than you need to attend.
Some members love being present for nearly everything. Others move in and out according to work, family, energy, travel, health, and the changing seasons of life. Both are welcome here.
The Aligned Heart is designed to support relationship with the work, not perfect attendance.
You may join live when you can, return to recordings when they are available, work with the seasonal reports and reflections in your own time, and let the practices meet you where you are.
What matters is staying connected to what is meaningful for you, and allowing the year to become something you are living rather than something you are trying to finish.
Community Matters Here
One of the clearest gifts of The Aligned Heart is moving through life alongside others who are also practicing, questioning, listening, and becoming more intentional about how they live.
There is room here for conversation and quiet. For sharing and witnessing. For showing up fully, and for seasons when simply staying connected is enough.
You are not behind. You are in your life.
Your practice is learning how to meet it.
What Members Experienced
The Aligned Heart is difficult to describe only by listing what we do.
Much of its value lives in what begins to change quietly over time: How we relate to ourselves, how we move through uncertainty, how willing we are to trust what we feel, and what it means to have a community alongside us as we practice.
Here are a few reflections from members of the 2026 Aligned Heart:
“I feel more grounded in myself and able to harness my personal power and gained much discernment about what is mine to do. I have also never felt so seen or loved in a group of women before.”
“I’m more intentional and more curious than ever about ‘me.’ Leaning into not thinking and more feeling.”
“It also feels overall less intimidating to move through life.”
“I try to step behind the mental chatter and breathe through the turmoil. I’m aware of lifelong patterns that have stayed hidden and are ready to release.”
“What does stand out the most is how important having a circle of trusted women is in navigating life.”
“Even though I haven’t been able to attend all of the online circles, the sense of safety in the sharing community that is created is incredible.”

A Few Things to Know
Aligned Heart is designed as a yearlong journey, but there is no long-term contract.
Enrollment does not reopen during the year once January closes.
Members may change membership levels once during the year, as space allows.
Full Membership is limited to approximately 40 members.
Online Membership has no set capacity.
Online members may attend individual in-person Circles or seasonal intensives when space is available.
You do not need to know exactly what the year will hold before you enter it.
You only need to know whether this feels like a place where you want to practice living more fully.
Who Holds the Space
Jenn Brooks | Founder of The Yoga Sanctuary
E-RYT 500 | Breathwork Facilitator | Vedic Astrologer
For more than 14 years, Jenn has created spaces where people can slow down, listen more deeply, and reconnect with what is steady beneath the movement of everyday life.
Her work draws from yoga, breath, Jyotisha, somatic awareness, ritual, seasonal living, and years of walking alongside people through change.
Within The Aligned Heart, Jenn’s role is not to hand you a prescribed path.
It is to tend the container.
To bring together practices, questions, rhythms, and experiences that support deeper listening, embodied awareness, and a more intimate relationship with your own life.
The structure matters.
The practices matter.
And so does the space between them.
That’s where something new often has room to emerge.
A Final Invitation
You do not need to know exactly what the year will hold before you enter it.
You only need a willingness to stay in relationship with your life, your practice, and the deeper place within you that knows how to listen.
The Aligned Heart is a space to do that in community.
If you’re feeling drawn to the 2027 circle and want to talk through which path might fit you best, you’re welcome to schedule a clarity call.
Come as you are. Let the year meet you there.
