Course Description

The Power of Yin is the hidden power of Being in its purest sense. Engaging Yin is about tapping in to the receptive current of life in flow, in contrast to the masculine expression of dynamic extension.

Imagine a world where everyone lived connected to the felt sense of source energy. When we are supported by a steady centre we feel empowered, juiced up, and rooted down.

Join us on this journey of reconnecting to the origin of your source energy. Refill your reservoirs, relax and restore your deepest sense of Self.
