Do you continue to worry and live in fear? In this workshop you will learn how your physical body is affected by these energy imbalances and blockages.

Did you know that changing the way you breathe can give you more energy, change your mood, help you to sleep better or improve your concentration? Did you know that meditation can change the chemistry in the brain to promote healing and can help you realize your full potential? Recent studies have shown that the physiology of those who meditate on a regular basis can be as much as ten to fifteen years younger than those who do not. Regular practice of Kundalini Yoga offers many possibilities for a happier, healthier life. These are just a few:

Kundalini is the oldest form of yoga (dating back over 5,000 years) and incorporates all facets of yoga including exercises called kriyas, breath work (pranayama) and meditation (silent and with mantra). Practicing Kundalini yoga balances the glandular system, strengthens the nervous system and enables the practitioner to harness the energy of the mind and the emotions. Kundalini yoga releases energy blocks along the spine which result in a sense of well being, clear thinking and overall physical health. Kundalini classes are appropriate for beginners as well as experienced practitioners. Alternative moves are offered whenever possible for students who may find some of the exercises challenging. Students will benefit regardless of ability to do some of the physical components of exercises by participating with breath, intention, and meditation. Please wear loose, layered clothing and bring a mat, pillow and towel or blanket to throw over yourself during deep relaxation. It is advisable to eat lightly or not at all before the class.

EFT and Kundalini Yoga both work on the flow of energy which is vital for good health (mental and physical). When the flow of energy is working as it should your mind and body work together in harmony to create a sense of well being. Part of the state of well being promotes the creative and abundant spirit which attracts more abundance. It’s true and has been taught as part of many cultures for thousands of years!

In some cases even deep trauma and addictions can be released by practicing the methods taught in this class. The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a psychological acupressure method that is quickly becoming embraced by the medical community as a revolutionary healing treatment based on the ancient holistic, healing practice of acupuncture but without the use of needles. Kundalini Yoga is one of the oldest types of Yoga on earth. The specific yoga sets taught in this class work on releasing negative emotions using the breath, asanas (postures) and meditation. This powerful, 6-week course will give simple techniques you can fit into your routine no matter how busy you are and can offer life-changing results! Students should wear loose fitting clothing and bring a mat and pillow. You may learn more about EFT at http://www.emofree.com/ PLEASE NOTE: This class is not intended to replace proper medical care for physical pain, deep depression, anxiety or trauma. It is always advisable to seek medical help if any of these conditions appear. However, the practices taught in this class are wonderful supplements to traditional, Western medicine and have existed for thousands of years freeing many people from mental and physical pain.
