HOW DID IT BEGIN?

No MUD, No Lotus

๐—ก๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ธ๐—ถ ๐—•๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐˜€๐—ต: ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜® birthed during a time of deep personal healing. 

โ€‹

I decided to leave the professional world of commercial Dance. & Acting, which allowed the fragmented pieces of myself to find each other. The marriage of Yoga and Natya (The Arts) allowed my life to become a beautiful array of new Artwork, like Japanese Kintsugi.

โ€‹

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜® became my truest ally, where I met and united all of the various parts of myself.

โ€‹

Use the body to transcend the body.

Use the mind to transcend the mind.

โ€‹

Use this practice to reconnect the landscape of your emotional subtle body to your beautiful  physical body.
