| Join us for a yoga retreat in Tulum, Mexico! | | CONNECT MORE DEEPLY | Are you harnessing the power of the world around you to connect to your truest self? While it’s vital to turn your focus inward during yoga and meditation, it’s also essential to connect with universal energy. Everything is connected.
The solar channel of the body encompasses the sympathetic nervous system, masculine energy, and the right side of the body. The lunar channel is the left side of the body and encompasses the parasympathetic nervous system and the divine feminine. Yoga can help us learn to balance these forces out and aligning with the moon’s phases is a powerful way to do so.
This week’s classes dive into how aligning yourself with the cycles of the moon can help you connect more deeply with your own light..check 'em out! | | | |  | | JOIN US IN MEXICO! | EAT, BREATHE, YOGA:TULUM, MEXICO ๐
