Daily stress is having a huge impact on our body, mind, and soul. Healing yoga is designed to create space for you to start to become aware of the false and stressful reality that we have created and learn how to return to our natural divine state of being. To help recognize trapped trauma and to release chronic pain. To rejuvenate the body, clear the mind, open up the heart and allow energetic healing to take place.
Yin Yoga

meditation
Meditation offers us the opportunity to withdraw from not only the distractions of the outer world , but also the chatter of our inner voice. Meditation is vital for our yoga practice as it nurtures our ability to focus. To focus on our body as we slowly move through asanas. It also helps us to create space within our own head , space to slow our inner chatter so that we can actually BE in our yoga practice , not just present. By being relaxed internally , we can be relaxed physically as our muscles soften and reduce their tension allowing us to get the most from each asana.
