Body, Function and Alignment in Yoga

Every pose is an invitation for a functional movement with the body. Every body is different. Alignment is personal, not rigid. Yoga practice with hands on adjustment.

Yoga Nidra with Essential Oils

Yoga Nidra, or “yoga sleep,” is a guided meditation with deep relaxation while remaining consciously aware. Essential oils are applied to create a calm atmosphere.

Acupuncture and Myofascial Release

A complementary TCM therapy, using gentle pressure and self-massage on specific acupoints and meridians to release tension and stimulate balanced.

Qi Gong

The ancient art of moving meditation – breathe and move, observe with awareness, feel the harmony, and cultivate the healing energy of Qi.

Barefoot Walking

Down to Mother Earth. Walking barefoot engages and strengthens the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in feet, promoting natural movement. It is an invitation, not an obligation.
