Benefits from a weekly practice include, but are not limited to, breathing (pranayama) practices that support healing and vitality; relaxing and softening muscles; releasing tension; focusing awareness on details through sensations, feelings, memories and thoughts that move through the mind; observing with compassion and acceptance of one’s own body as the energy experience moves through you; and focusing on energy in motion rather than trying to understand what is happening.

Come with an open mind and experience the benefits of gradual flexibility, balance, self realization, witnessing consciousness and overall feeling healthy and well!
