Thu- Sat: 9:30- 17:30
Sun: 9:30- 13:00

Our lost sense of integrity with unity often leads to stress, living in repetitive karmic patterns, and robs us of our health, vitality, and full potential.

As a result of an anxious mind and an exhausted body, states such as depression, stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances arise. How can we put an end to them and begin to feel better?

In the first module, we will dive into an experiential, self-inquiry-based journey and explore five core tools together with the practice of Yoga Nidra. You will learn how to shift unwanted mental states at the causal level.

After completing this module, you will be able to transform your life through one of the simplest yet most profound techniques ever created.

You will embark on a journey toward reclaiming your wholeness.
