We live in a fast paced world where our attention is often divided between multiple things at a time. We worry about work, our families, our social lives, and more all while hearing about the concepts of presence, self care, and stillness. It can feel impossible to settle into the quiet alignment that our soul desperately craves. In this class you will be guided through intention setting, a powerful meditation giving you permission to be in full presence, journal prompts, gentle yoga movements, and chakra alignment to settle you deeper into the comfort of your mind and body. You will leave feeling nourished and at peace as you enter back into your day to day life.
