Getting intentional about your happiness involves actively taking control of your well-being and making conscious choices that prioritize your emotional and mental health. In this article, you’ll learn 3 ways to get intentional about your happiness. Don’t forget that Happiness is not merely the destination, but the beautiful journey we create along the way.
Cultivating happiness within, also known as internal or intrinsic happiness, refers to the practice of nurturing and sustaining one’s well-being, contentment, and positive emotions from within oneself, rather than relying solely on external factors or circumstances. It involves developing a deep sense of joy and satisfaction that isn’t dependent on external events, material possessions, or the approval of others. Here are some key aspects of cultivating happiness within.
Define what happiness means to you: Take time to reflect on what truly makes you happy and fulfilled. This could include your personal values, interests, and long-term aspirations.
Set specific, achievable goals: Once you’ve identified what happiness means to you, break it down into specific, actionable goals. These goals can relate to various aspects of your life, such as relationships, career, health, or personal growth.
Prioritize your goals: Not all goals are of equal importance, and trying to pursue everything at once can be overwhelming. Prioritize your goals and focus on a few key areas that are most meaningful to you.
Develop a self-care routine: Regular self-care is essential for maintaining happiness and well-being. Create a routine that includes activities you enjoy and that help you relax and recharge, such as meditation, exercise, reading, or spending time with loved ones.
Set boundaries: Establish boundaries to protect your time and energy. Learn to say “no” to commitments that don’t align with your priorities, and make room for the things that bring you joy.
Cultivate a positive mindset: Pay attention to your thoughts and self-talk. Challenge negative or self-critical thinking and replace it with more positive and empowering beliefs.
Surround yourself with supportive people: Cultivate and maintain relationships with individuals who uplift, encourage, and support you. Positive relationships can significantly contribute to your happiness.
Communicate openly: Effective communication is crucial in any relationship. Express your needs and feelings, and be open to listening to others as well.
Let go of toxic relationships: Sometimes, certain relationships can be detrimental to your happiness. It’s important to recognize when a relationship is no longer healthy and consider letting go when necessary.

Hey there,
My name is Cynthia & I am so excited to be joining the team here at OHA. I completed my 200hr teacher training in Bali in 2022 and I am absolutely bursting with excitement to share my teachings with the students of OHA. Since beginning my yoga journey many years ago, I have always gravitated towards the more spiritual, meditative & self reflective benefits of the practice. I have a huge passion for a vast array of yoga practice styles, however my heart really lies with a slower and more intentional practice. Don’t get me wrong, I still regularly crave a good & spicy vinyasa flow, but you can definitely always count me in for a replenishing restorative or a juicy yin class.
I immediately resonated with what OHA wanted to bring to this city’s yoga community and I am beyond honoured to be one of their teachers as we gear up to open in March.

Jasmine’s yoga practice began over ten years ago. She was drawn to the discipline and movement that yoga provided and was inspired to create goals to overcome obstacles that were presented to her while on her mat. She easily incorporated classes into her daily routine and built a consistent practice by attending classes local to her in Toronto, Calgary, and Revelstoke before she pursued her teaching certification while living in Vancouver.
In Jasmine’s guided Vinyasa sessions, you will develop your yoga practice through continuous mindful movement while building strength and flexibility. A foundation of poses are used in each class to provide consistency to advance, while creative sequences provide the opportunity to explore. Each energizing class includes moments of restoration, guided meditation, and the opportunity for students of all levels and experience to learn something new.
As a yoga instructor, Jasmine continuously develops and shares her passion for yoga while creating a safe and supportive community for students to explore their practice. She educates beyond the asana practice through balanced teachings to incorporate what is learned and achieved through yoga to all areas of your life – on purpose, with purpose.
