Kundalini Yoga & Meditation
Yoga sessions are focused on connecting movement and breath to awaken the energy and move it through all energy centers (chakras). Authentic and creative practice will include mantra, meditation, purifying breathing practices and well-rounded body movement that will bring you back into the present moment and help to release deep sited tension in the muscles and tissues. Surrender and relax through a restorative practice, activate meridians along the whole body and balance the flow of energy. Cool down the nervous system, find stillness and dive into a deep meditative state. The practice concludes with profound full body relaxation.
Yoga is step-by-step guidance that takes you way beyond good physical workout but to a new level of consciousness. Every practice is different and adapted to the group and their level.
“Kundalini” is an ancient Sanskrit word that literally means “coiled snake.” In early Eastern religion (long before Buddhism and Hinduism) it was believed that each individual possessed a divine energy at the base of the spine. This energy was thought to be the sacred energy of creation. This energy is something we are born with, but we must make an effort to “uncoil the snake,” thereby putting us in direct contact with the divine. Kundalini Yoga is the practice of awakening our Higher Self and turning potential energy into kinetic energy.
The primary objective is to awaken the full potential of human awareness in each individual; that is, recognize our awareness, refine that awareness, and expand that awareness to our unlimited Self. Clear any inner duality, create the power to deeply listen, cultivate inner stillness, and prosper and deliver excellence in all that we do.
Kundalini is known as a niche form of yoga. But Kundalini, perhaps more than any other yoga, has a long and fascinating history. Unlike most ancient religious philosophies, Kundalini does not hold onto any strict rules or dogmas. The pure nature of Kundalini has allowed each generation for thousands of years to find personal meaning in the practice. The objective is decentralized and selfless – help people actualize their Higher Self. Kundalini does not claim to be the way; it is simply a way, one tool on each individual’s journey to personal discovery.

PLANT MEDICINE RETREATS
Plant medicines have been at the core of human health care as far as human history dates back. The indigenous of all tribes consider the plants to have spirits, and those spirits to be the source of great power and healing. The plants help us guide towards understanding how to free ourselves from internal blockages and connect to the energy and essence that lives within us. The plants help us to reconnect us to the love of nature and our physical health.
