READY, SET, SANKALPA
A WORKSHOP TO RECLAIM & RECALL YOUR TRUE NATURE
Saturday, January 24th 2026 | 10am-3pm | in-person in Dover FL
About Ready, Set, SANKALPA
In Yoga, Sankalpa (संकल्प in Sanskrit) means a deep and heartfelt vow for self-transformation and self-realization; a timeless tradition that represents one’s commitment to truth and personal evolution.
A Sankalpa is used in the practice of Yoga and meditation to amplify a felt connection to Dharma (your life purpose and your highest reason for being here).
Maintaining a personalized Sankalpa is a tangible, relevant, and applicable tool to compassionately guide your thoughts, actions, and energy towards the reclamation of your True Nature - the innermost, unchanging part of you that always IS.
Recited in the present tense always, this statement of intention becomes an anchor in the inevitable storms ahead and a North Star on the darkest nights.
When conscious time is given to hear this inner truth combined with the commitment to living this inner truth…
…Manifestations actualize with greater precision and efficiency.
…Reoccurring pain and recycled struggle is alleviated.
…The ordinary becomes sacred and growth is miraculous.
Yearly Sankalpa keeping is one Chanel’s most beloved and favorite ways of engaging with the life-giving practice of Yoga beyond the asana (postures) and she is privileged to share this teaching with you.
All are welcome and no prior experience is needed.
We’ll channel creative and luminous energy through guided meditation and journal therapy, ground into the present with gentle yoga asana and group dialogue, and set our New Year intentions into motion through the formation of a personalized Sankalpa.
Once your registration is complete, you will receive ample email communication to help you prepare for a powerful and potent day together.
Get ready. Get set. SANKALPA!
With love and hope,
Chanel Vanzant Garrand
INTENTION + action = dharma

Chanel Vanzant GARRAND
Chanel Vanzant Garrand has been a Yoga & Meditation teacher throughout Tampa since 2016. While completing her M.Ed., she simultaneously began her path as a Yoga professional. Chanel started her personal practice due to the lingering presence of unhealed hardship from her youth and the mental health challenges that developed in early adulthood as a result. Since then, she has experienced glimpses of personal liberation and deep inner healing. She attributes this shift to becoming a devoted wife and mother to many children. Chanel’s latest work passionately invites students to move beyond the Yoga postures and down into the subtle, energetic body of the practice to hear their own wisdom. Her classes equally acknowledge that life is challenging and still worth celebrating. Chanel’s spirited offerings intend to expand and strengthen your felt and intuit understanding of body mind soul connection. She infuses her affection for God, shamanism, music, nature, writing, art, ritual, ceremony, and Divine Feminine wisdom practices to help remind us of our innate gifts and contributions to this world. Chanel is 500RYT, a doula, a reiki master, pre-natal certified, Yoga Nidra trained, and certified trauma counselor and journal therapist.

There’s no place like home
Our retreat will take place at Nanihoku, our family residence and sanctuary of ten-acres in Dover, Florida. Enjoy rocked nature trails and peaceful communing areas to sit and be with Spirit. Weather permitting, we will enjoy time both inside and outside for our event. Located just a half hour outside of Downtown Tampa, you’ll be surrounded by tropical forest in our lush safe haven. Free of artificial noise and light pollution, you're invited to detoxify and unplug with us and the abundance of other plant and animal species on our property. A professional milestone reached, Chanel has dreamed of hosting healing events at home since she began teaching in 2015.
“The land holds a quiet magic and energy that reveals the deep love Chanel and Zach have poured into it from the moment you arrive. The entire space feels like a sanctuary, a living meditation. Every corner radiates intention and care.“ - Karla P | Fire & Sol Day Retreat 2025

Have a question?
“Your sankalpa is like deeply sown seed of resolution that you plant deep inside your being. You connect with it and silently speak this resolution to yourself — stating it as if it has already come to fruition.”
- Raegan Robinson
