Meet Hae Hwa, our Core & Strength Training Instructor✨
"I taught elementary education in Chicago for 30 years. During this time, I also competed in Body Building, winning several titles. I started with Body & Brain because although I was physically strong, I always felt as if I was missing spiritual advancement. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to do both. I now can incorporate strength as well as my spiritual growth."

When we are thankful for something, we have accepted its exitence. Something we 've accepted circulates, rather than lies stagnant within and around us. When we release and circulate something, we can see it clearly and not become consumed by it. By having an open heart and energy, we can sende our true self and take on the consciousness of the source if life.. desiring things that benefit all, and the ability to achieve them.
Gratitude is a natural and automatic state of the consciousness of our true self. What in your life do you need to accept and allow to circulate? Where will gratitude emerge?
