The practice of chanting these healing Banis have brought a state of health to people suffering from a diverse range of conditions.

Meditation for Balance and Protection
Each day at 4:00pm, when the tides turn, the electromagnetic field of every human weakens (this often translates as the afternoon lulls), making you vulnerable or susceptible to experiencing an increase in life's challenges. In this 30 minute class you will focus on three exercise/meditations to strengthen and balance your magnetic field which will serve as a protective shield from negativity, giving you renewed energy to carry you through the rest of your day.

RESTORATIVE


Restorative
Through supported, passive positions, this class brings relief and peace to the nervous system. The organs of the body are profoundly supported, and the biochemistry of the body changes as the cortisol levels drop in the blood. As a result, the entire body experiences deep rest that is far greater than an ordinary night's sleep. This practice will change the way you go through life, creating the internal peace required to "respond" instead of "react."

Yin Yoga
A restorative class designed to release tension, calm the nervous system, and teach the body to sit still. With the gentle support of props, students passively stretch and energize the deep connective tissues of the body, open the joints, and restore alignment. Also beneficial for those recovering from injury or trauma, enjoy the therapeutic benefits of deep relaxation. This class is open to all levels.
