Are you exhausted or have aches and pains a lot of the time? If you're on the go a lot, it can take its toll on the body, mind and spirit. "Fight or flight" becomes wired into the nervous system.
You can be chronically exhausted and running on steam, without even noticing it. Until you get sick, or have persistent pain that doesn't go away. Maybe you feel on edge or anxious much of the time.
You may feel as if your mind and body just can't settle. And - as often happens with many people suffering from chronic pain or stress - you may be slowly withdrawing from activities you love, leaving only the necessary chores that often don't feed the soul.
Your journey toward healing can take you down many diverse paths. With the yogic practices of breath, movement, mindfulness and rest, together we'll help you find a healing path that calms the mind, heals the body and nourishes the spirit.

Refresh and Restore with Yoga Nidra / Restorative Yoga
Deep relaxation is a doorway to healing. If you feel as if you have no time to relax, relaxation may be exactly what you need to feel refreshed and vital again.
