About
Mindful movement practices, such as yoga and Tai Chi accentuates multiple self-healing processes, provides an opportunity to gain more intimate knowledge of how your body works, and empowers you to play a leading, central role in your own health. I invite you to approach the practice of mindful movement with a beginner’s mind attitude, or sense of curiosity. May you be happy, healthy, and free from suffering.
