I love practicing myself, deep but relaxing breath and simple movements to mindfully connected to the body.
My class focuses on the breath to connect deeper inner muscles to the movements to help alignment, balance, strength and mobility.
Love teaching at Cocoon, nice warm welcome energy community that makes me specially.
