The New Year is the perfect opportunity for self-reflection and planning. However, instructor Velvet Hernandez-Johnson is not a fan of resolutions. She likes to see the New Year as a holistic and personal opportunity.

Through more than 15 years of coaching individuals, Velvet has learned that we are all unique and what makes you happy is unique to yourself. In this class, she will share with you a technique that has stayed with her from her college years and something she practices every year: a wheel of life, how to service it and change the oil. It is simple but powerful. This wheel of life will help you to protect what is important to you and say no to things that will not add value to your life, and teach you how to stay balanced in your priorities and enjoy the important things in life. At the end you will find yourself more fulfilled, satisfied and happier.
