Advanced Vinyasa Flow
Synchronizing of movement with breath in a dynamic flow from India Mysore tradition, from fundamental to advanced poses.

Understanding the functions of poses, we get into the body. Alignment is personal, not universal.
Meridians Yin with Essential Oils
Use essential oils in a deep relaxing Yin practice based on the 12 Meridians from Traditional Chinese Medicine system.
Meditation, Pranayama and Chanting
Being in the present moment… Breathe in… out… Observe the mind fluctuations…make peace with Self.
