Claim Your Vibrancy Through the Essential Life Relationships
Life is relationship, and when we attend to the subtle, most foundational relationships in our lives we can thrive physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This 8-week, live online course encompasses 8 areas of life in which you’ll build relationship and embodiment.
You’ll weave the timeless practices of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Intuitive Living through essential life relationships week by week, because just like a house built on shaky foundation is unstable and weak, so too our attempts at improving our life are less effective, unsteady, and tenuous if we lack a form of grounding in the essential areas of life.
In this course you’ll set yourself up to see experience shifts in your life that you’re seeking in any area of life. You’re going to learn HOW to live a healthier, more cohesive, holistically balanced, and exponentially more satisfying life by developing an awareness of yourself as a dynamic, holistic, multi-faceted being that has base requirements that are needed in order to thrive. Requirements - or relationships - that we should have been taught as children but were not.
