Those of you who always wanted to start your own silent meditation/contemplation practice are welcome to join me early morning 30 min before our yoga session.
Just like during Sadhana practice each day we will emphasis on an area of the body to help it relax, open up, give you more freedom, and accessing your Asanas on a deeper level with a liberating feeling.
