Join me Sunday for our Krya Class "The way of the Tao." This mean, the way of the way. It is the invitation to recognize that YOU are creator of your own life. YOU get to decide HOW you live. You are the only one that holds the power of your path. There is no "one" right way, no one path, and no one outside of you that knows your life path better than you.

Most of us have lost touch with our own internal GPS and have been conditioned to believe that something outside of ourselves has determined our life. We have been made to believe that others hold our answers or the truth that we seek. However, in this class we come to the "experiencing the experience of you within your body. This is the way of your way." You get to step into the author of your life story. YOU are the Self Author.

This means that we need to begin to give ourselves permission to become open, curious, and explore our own internal truth of how things FEEL. This self-sensing (interoception) is one of the most important skills that you can cultivate and harness within your life because it is this ability to feel that gives our lives richness and emotion. It fuels our purpose and our destiny. But that permission needs to be the key we use to take steps towards what our heart says, versus what others think we "should" do.

Come to this class to be able to define for yourself what your path is. There is no right path and no wrong path. YOU are your own path. In this is playfulness and Freedom. Join me and let's play and have fun!

Please bring: Yoga mat or blanket, cushion or small pillow for sitting, water, journal and pen and a camping chair or stool if you need additional support for being in seated positions. Please note that we do a lot of seated postures in our classes on the floor so bring whatever support you may need to be in these positions. I do have 2 sitting chairs available; however, I encourage you to bring your own if you have it :)

Class Rate:
$10 for one class
$45 for 5 classes
$90 for 10 classes

*Pay via paypal, venmo, cash

**classes are available virtually as well! So you can join from the comfort of your own home :) Please message me for the link to attend virtually.
