It’s easy to start meditating or trying our classes. Whether it’s breathwork, Qigong or Yin Yoga, everything we do is a gift for your nervous system.
“It is possible the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community, a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. And the practice can be carried out as a group, as a city, as a nation.”
