Bodywork support for yoga practice
The case for maintenance You can’t fix a broken device with maintenance. Intervention is required. It is also way more difficult to heal a poorly maintained system; a regularly maintained system responds much better to treatment.

No Mind. No limitation
No Mind. No limitation Get out of the box and into Infinite Mind. Thinking is a limited facility. Period. So thinking out of the box just puts one in another box. Thinking out of the box is important on a linear level, but it ends there. Reality as we think it is, is a hoax […]
Yoga. Being. Present.

Magazine programs love exciting, original visual stories. […]

Cranio-Sacral treatment supports four major aspects of […]
Treat your yoga practice to a cranio-sacral therapy
There are several good reasons why it is an excellent idea to treat one’s yoga practice to a cranio-sacral therapy session. A session or regular treatments assist with getting into the zone, and maintaining a cutting edge in whatever one’s personal quest entails. In my quest for well-being, and frankly, just getting through tough times and […]
