Is there a fearful part of you that prevents you from fully engaging in life and relationships? \nThrough pranayama\, meditations\, mantras\, and yoga\, you will: \n\nAccess your Self energy.\nLearn skills to manage your mood.\nStrengthen the Self to part relationships.\nUnblend the parts that take over your internal system.\nSafely tend to the protected parts of you that are not yet healed.\n\nReturn home feeling refreshed and with new tools to bring balance to the emotional and physical bodies. \nNOTE This program is suitable for all levels including beginners.
