An immersive sensory experience that feels like a retreat from the demands of everyday life
This is a beautiful space to slow down, reset, and receive.

I have studied the intricacies of the Mind for more than 30 years ~ including the Western perspectives of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung & Edward Casey ~ as well as the Eastern perspectives of the Vedas, Alan Watts, Charaka Acharya and most profoundly, Yoga & Sankyha Philosophies ~ 2 of the 6 Satdarshan.

This perspective has been one of the most mentally and emotionally healing components of my lifetime...

Offering COMPLETE Clarity and Release of the high trauma experienced in my first 30 years in this body.

For those who joined for 'Nervous System Regulation' class, this talk will bring further depth to that conversation.

If it calls to you, I would love to share it with you 🙏

I look forward to spending an evening with community immersed in sound, vibration & intention. HariAum 🕉️

Some have the misconception that Chair Yogasana is somehow "easier"....

Actually, it helps cultivate core and leg strength, deeply deeply stretch and slow the degeneration that occurs from sitting all the time - especially for those who work in corporate fields and end up in a chair all day.

In addition, the Gen-Xers who started a Yoga practice 20 years ago are aging, so staying strong without aggravating joints is key - or some have illness or injury that has shifted what physical practice looks like.

Chair Yoga is especially beneficial for those who have low back pain, of which I can speak to with great experience.

Let's not forget the core teachings of Yoga - The breath, the meditation, the teachings of the Gita & Patanjali.

We had a wonderful time discussing these realities and learning quickly just how sore you can become.
