BACK TO REALITY - ANNUAL NEW YEAR’S EVE JIVAMUKTI FIRE PUJA OPEN XXL w/ANJA
We live in a time where many things harmful to life are accepted as normal and rarely questioned. Whatever tendency appears in the world, when left unexamined and followed blindly, gradually becomes the norm of our collective reality. Practicing together becomes a way to remember our purpose and goal for life. The fire challenges us to recognise what is truly real by letting go of what keeps us limited. It helps us realign with the highest truth within. Through practice consciousness expands, not by attaining anything new, but by recognising what is already within oneself, infinitely full and complete.
Life is about living from an elevated place, facing challenges with grace, and choosing integrity over complacency. It is the continual remembrance that our thoughts, words, and actions shape the world we inhabit. When we practice together, we honour our community and recognise the strength we draw from one another. With each gathering we renew the safe space we share, choosing again and again to turn inward, to nourish ourselves from within, and to support the growth of what is good, true, and life-affirming.
As we come together, we honour nature, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the deep responsibility each of us carries for the state of our own mind and heart. The Fire Puja is not only a ritual. It is a call to embody the change we wish to see in our relationships, in our work, and in the way we walk through this world.
And perhaps more than ever, it is a reminder that kindness is strength. In a world that often rewards division and distraction, turning inward and listening deeply becomes an act of reclaiming our true nature. From that place, compassion naturally flows into action. What we cultivate in ourselves becomes what we contribute to the world.
As 2025 comes to a close, may we enter the new year with humility, gratitude, clarity, sincerity, non-harming, inner commitment, and inner strength, guided by a purpose that arises from within and supported by inner peace.
It will get very hot in these 2.5+ hours we have together. Not just because of the sweat of our asana practice, but also because of the fire ceremony and the chanting of beautiful ancient mantras. Let’s chant, sweat, meditate and be together one last time this year at our Mitte school bringing the year 2025 to an end by connecting to our hearts and by offering all our good intentions up into the sacred fire of purification.
Fire, agni, is the first word in the ancient Vedas. The fire takes the mantras and all the good things as an oblation up to the sky of infinity and truth and helps us to manifest what we want to manifest in us and in the world around us. Thus, let us form our good intentions for 2026 and offer them up to the sacred fire of Self-Knowledge.
The Fire Puja is a powerful ceremony of transformation and elevation. Fire, central to many ancient rituals, symbolizes both purification and illumination. In this practice, we offer to the flames the most sacred aspects of our lives — our elevated intentions, highest aspirations, and qualities we seek to cultivate within ourselves. By offering these intentions to the fire, we commit our best and purest selves to be carried upward, reaching for support, guidance, and divine blessing. The warmth and light of the fire serve as reminders of our own inner flame, inspiring us to dedicate ourselves fully and with courage to the qualities we wish to strengthen in the New Year.
In this ceremony, we come together as a community of like-hearted individuals, magnifying the power of our individual offerings and uplifting each other’s aspirations. Practicing together, we create a shared vision of hope, compassion, and dedication, breathing new life into our collective and personal purpose. Through chanting, movement, breath, and meditation, we cultivate the energy of resolve, creating a powerful atmosphere where each person’s intentions are elevated and supported by the group.
oṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ.
Om. Peace, peace, peace.
lokāḥ samastāḥ sukhino bhavantu.
May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.
Suitable for all levels.
ANJA IS…
Anja discovered yoga in 2000 while temporarily living in New York for her law studies. Her first experience with Jivamukti Yoga ignited a deep and lifelong dedication to the practice, shaping her path as both student and teacher. In 2008, she founded Yogaloft Berlin, which in 2009 became Jivamukti Yoga Berlin, now known as Three Boons Yoga Berlin, creating a space where the richness of yogic tradition merges with a modern, vibrant community.
For many years, Anja, who is advanced certified in the Jivamukti Yoga method and has been teaching ever since, has been a mentor and facilitator of teacher trainings, guiding students through the Jivamukti method with a profound emphasis on both its philosophical roots and practical application. Her teaching is deeply informed by the ancient wisdom of the Upaniṣads and the Advaita Vedānta tradition, offering a clear, direct approach to Non-Duality (Oneness). She views teaching as an extension of her own practice, an act of sharing that allows both teacher and student to continuously learn, refine, and grow.
Through her classes, Anja inspires students to cultivate clarity, simplicity, a strong and steady connection to all aspects of life, and to discover the inner peace that dedicated practice reveals as our natural state. She encourages an experiential understanding of the teachings, where glimpses of deep insight emerge through consistent effort and devotion.
At Three Boons Yoga, Anja remains committed to honoring the transformative power of yoga while fostering an inclusive and engaged community in Berlin and beyond.
