The Mountain Is You

Build a strong foundation by daring to face yourself exactly as you are in this moment.  You are the mountain, the climber of the mountain, the obstacles along the way, and the remover of those obstacles.  Meeting your present reality with honesty gives you the power to move forward with clarity.  Explore the energy of muladhara chakra and grounding yoga poses, learn how to identify and release limiting beliefs, cultivate a growth mindset, and challenge yourself to change what you think is possible. This weekend immersion is designed for Yoga teachers, but open to anyone wishing to learn and explore.

*Can’t make the full weekend? No worries! You can still get a taste by joining for Friday night only! Just look for The Mountain ($44) on the registration page.

Join me for an evening of grounding through Yoga, Sangha (community discussion), and guided meditation designed to support you in meeting your present reality with honesty so you can lay the foundations for moving forward with clarity. You are the Mountain. The Mountain is You.
