A personal practice is specific techniques or practices performed on a regular basis in order to release accumulated tension, reduce resistance in body and mind helping to bring about a deeper understanding of ourselves and everything around us.

Therapeutic massage utilizes a variety of techniques and is helpful in release of tension and stress in the body. It can help to regulate emotions, and is a less-intense way to learn how to release and let go of what is held in the body.

Sessions can be 1 hour or 1.5 hours in length

A powerful hands-on therapeutic method, different from massage, that can be a major step for people who want to release from traumatic events as well as relieve old patterns of tension and pain. Learn to work with your perceived limitations of body and mind in a new way.

“Integral Bodywork® is an inquiry.” – Everett Ogawa, Founder of Integral Bodywork®

A series of basic stretches that work together to create an enhanced experience of the mind-body connection. The stretches gradually open the pelvis, belly and spine, resulting in improved flexibility and structural alignment critical for a more relaxed experience of daily life. The sequence is helpful for those who are working with discomfort, spinal and pelvic conditions and chronic physical pain. The series can be done on its own or used as a complement to enhance other mindful practices.

A simple method, used by thousands of people around the world, to release stress and tension stored in the body. Your stress and tension can manifest as physical and emotional pain. Learn a simple process to access your body’s natural release mechanism, greatly increase relaxation and reduce the physical and emotional tension accumulated on a daily basis.

Meditation and breathwork are transformative practices that deepen your connection to the mind and body. This program employs a variety of techniques to help us to develop hara (center), kokyu (breath) and kiai (energy), necessary for a deeper awareness. With regular practice, meditation and breath training can significantly reduce stress, improve mental clarity and cultivate a well-grounded state of awareness in daily life.
