how DOES it work?
This first session will focus mainly on an organic flow of yoga postures, working, on stringing poses together so that you move from one to another seamlessly, using breath.
The second session will focus on Kunda dance vibes to awaken your kundalini, release tension and add an element of fun to stimulate your energy centres.
Both the yoga practices and chakra dance will be rejuvenating and give you the opportunity to align your energy centres and connect your mind, body and soul.
The day will also include two more sessions; one blissful Chakra Yin Yoga journey, and one deeply relaxing Chakra and full moon meditation session.
