This seminar deals directly with the modern plagues of anxiety, worry, and depression due to recent world events, or how to function in a dysfunctional world.
This unique event addresses awakening courage through physical yoga practices and transforming our way of seeing the world so we change from those who tremble in the face of circumstances beyond our control to those who become Light Houses, people who stand tall and help others to find their way through the dark.
This work gives you knowledge to take home with you to help you live and sleep more at ease. Class includes lecture, simple yoga postures, breath work, self-enquiry, and guided meditation.
