The Breath.
There is the most beautiful connection that we have with Mother Earth as she provides our oxygen through plants. In exchange we exhale their need of carbon dioxide. This yin yang balance happens naturally with our innate wisdom.
Close your eyes & tune into your breath now; is your natural breathing shallow or deep? Breath in life force energy known as Prana. Improve your cardiovascular & respiratory systems by learning effective breathing techniques.
Movement.
Discover your own sthira (control) and sukha (ease) on and off the mat.
Intuitive movement embodies shifts in consciousness for healing of your entire identity.
Observer Meditation.
On a biological level, the purpose of meditation is to support the optimal functioning of your parasympathetic nervous system (rest, digest, heal, repair mode).
Witnessing with curiosity invites integration & processing of present emotions while calming the monkey mind.
In a private session, we co-regulate. With practice, you activate your subtle senses being able to see & feel in your waking state of eyes open.
