“I have received so much from this experience. Each practice was deeply laced with understanding of what is happening internally. How organs, joints, muscles are all impacted by each pose. I really appreciated how in the physical there were aspects of Hara, heart, head, yin/yang. How the parasympathetic nervous systems is impacted by different poses. And how yoga practices contribute to regulation of the nervous system, healing fascia, bringing lubrication to the joints, fresh blood flow and releasing stagnation from different organs. It was wonderful, sophisticated teachings”

  • “Through this course, I have become more confident in my physical/emotional/mental self. The lessons I have learn (especially the meditations) have added a whole new level to my classes and also the classes I am in as a student. I feel that as an individual I am able to express my intentions with more care and stability. All I want in my life is to be able to share and receive with an open and non-judgmental mind. Understanding my suffering and evolution and those around me has helped me do this. There are many things to learn in the practice of yoga, especially philosophically, away from the movement. Learning more about Hara has helped me flip perspective and deepened my knowledge in a way I didn’t know it could - thank you.”

  • “ I feel supported and held by my practice in a way that I didn’t yet know. Giving my self time to be with my self and remind my self over and over again that I am present moment consciousness creates that many more opportunities to practice. ”

  • “I am so incredibly grateful to do this work, to be aware, to have the opportunity to change my belief system and to clear so many of the dysfunctional patterns in my lineage and those which showed up in my marriage. A mirror of what I needed to clear in myself so I can now stand whole in my own love and ready to embark on my biggest adventure yet! I thank you from the bottom of my heart, another example of the universe providing me with what I needed before I needed it. Yin has been such an emotional safe haven for me to unravel these last parts of transformation and release.”
