Live with Purpose

Here’s How it Works

The Year of YOU teaches 10 key habits that uplift your body and life, refining and automating these habits over the course of 4 seasons. Each week you are guided to a video lesson and journal reflection in the course hub. This accompanied by a live call with the community supports the new patterns you are creating. Each season has 11 live calls, and as you progress, embodying the concepts in a deeper way each time, you shift underlying beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you. Growing into greater self-awareness, and connection to mind, body, and spirit.

Synergy Collaborative Health professionals, including Ayurvedic Doctors, Ayurvedic Practitioners, and Western Physicians.  Included in your Year of YOU is a full assessment by an Ayuvedic Doctor who will help you create an ideal daily routine, or your personalized lifestyle medicine, and you will receive custom created Ayurvedic products to support your unique constitution.

What Participants Say

“The Year of You is definitely worth the investment in yourself. The Ayurvedic content is delivered in a way that is accessible and immediately applicable through videos, group discussions and one-on-one conversations (and sometimes even walks!). Jill has a knack for creating space for each person to discover what it is they need on their unique journey. I think of Jill and The Year of You as a cozy and warm space where you will learn, grow, discover, be challenged and make new friends while moving towards easeful living, self-acceptance and unlocking your true potential.”  – Lea W

“Developing practices and habits that promote healing is what I believe Ayurveda and Jill Novak’s “Year of You” are all about.  Following a path of ease and peaceful healing has helped me to daily adopt practices that have increased my feelings of strength and resilience and brought about profound shifts in my well-being.  I was diagnosed five years ago with Rheumatoid Arthritis and was taking 400 mg of Hydroxychloroquine a day to treat my symptoms of inflammation and joint deterioration.  In the past two years I began to decrease the dose and have now stopped taking the medication completely.  When I went for an assessment by a new rheumatologist, he said that the absence of symptoms means that I can now be without my medication.  I feel so empowered in my body now.  I feel strong and healthy and I feel like I have tools that help me orient to ease and wellness in my life.  I believe that the reason I no longer suffer with Rheumatoid Arthritis is that the Ayurveda principles and habits I have been integrating have brought and continue to bring abundant healing.  The morning practice of daily meditation, gratitude journaling and drinking warm water have helped me begin my day without rushing, with peaceful inspiration and intention.  The habit of going to bed earlier also creates ease and helps me rest and renew at night.  The habit of eating an earlier, lighter dinner helps to anchor a peaceful sleep as well.  I believe that the peaceful attitude that has become a foundation of my daily life has helped my body heal and be restored so that I no longer need the medications that I did 5 years ago.  The spiritual habits of daily prayer and gratitude have also decreased my stress and helped me to see my work as a vocation that I can embrace with a sense of purpose and hope even while working in a stressful environment and amidst a global pandemic.  The practice of asking myself “what do I most need in this moment”? has helped me anchor a practice and stance of self-care and self-love that makes my daily living increasingly easy and hopeful.  I have struggled with anxiety and depression most of my adult life (for the past 35 years) and I have felt a significant shift with these illnesses as well.  The pace at which I take my life has become very serene and relaxed and the way I approach conflict and stressful events has changed remarkably over the past two years.”

“I love love love Jill. She has been a personal inspiration in her own life and changes (with willingness and vulnerability to share). She is high energy, so knowledgeable, and has helped with pain management and overall mental health. She asks probing questions, keeps us accountable, checks in, is supportive, and positive. She is also super inclusive and makes sure everyone gets a chance and is encouraged to open up.” – MB

“This course has taught me awareness; physical, mental, cravings, sleep patterns. I am able to see when I feel good and when I’m going or have gone off course. I can recognize this and step back in to get back on course. I’ve introduced earlier to bed, meditation, water in morning routine, lighter dinner. These are becoming natural. I’m exposing myself to some of the other habits that I have more resistance to but am not hard on myself about how they make me feel.” – CP

“The habits I have learned and worked with in the YofU course have provided me with a healthy baseline. A soft place to land and go back to. The course has given me a more gentle lens to see myself and recognize my growth. Jill leads with her heart and allows each of us to explore our own journey with guidance and knowledge to explore where we are in the moment. She cultivates a safe and enriching community who share ideas and experiences to support our collective growth. We explore these seemingly simple ‘habits’ that are so much more. I have benefited immensely from and highly recommend this course with Jill’s direction and support.”-Jill T

“I’m a busy mom of 3 and a full-time teacher. I’m also someone who has been working very hard over the past few years to find a work-life balance. I noticed that, as a teacher, I was beginning to burn out annually. What drew me to Jill’s course was a deep desire to put my health first. I wanted to make a sustainable change in my life that would enable me to feel full of energy again. I wanted to thrive in my life, both at home and at work.”

“Throughout this year I’ve learned to reconnect with my body and my inner intuition. I’ve learned to trust myself again. I’ve been equipped with so many tools to draw from as I take small steps of compassion towards myself. I’ve learned to ask the question, “What do I need right now?” And I now know how to respond. I’ve learned to layer self-care and rest throughout my daily life instead of waiting for the weekend or my next holiday. I’ve learned to use the habits to anchor me during busy times or times of stress. I’ve learned to honor the natural rhythms of my body through different times of the day, month, and season. The community that I’ve been able to tap into has been a rich resource of support, and also a place to speak our truth.”

The Year of You isn’t just another course or health challenge. It’s learning a new way of thinking and approaching your health and your life.”
