I woke early this morning after a full night of tossing and turning. Feeling sleepy I set up my Cuban coffee maker on the stove. While I waited I had a feeling to move my body so I listened.  My yoga mat was already laid out on the floor and I stepped on it. My body instinctively knew what to do.

By teaching your self to be still and quiet you can develop a system of observing the body and all of its intelligence. Your body knows. It is you that gets in the way. It is my intention that through this course you will develop a simple way of connecting to all that “is” in your body and allow your expertise to shine through. What you say is real and true.  We all create our own realities through the thoughts we think and the words we say. What you say is true for you. By knowing this you will learn to monitor your thought...
