How Sound Baths Can Heal The Body
It is through the universal laws of vibration that sound can stimulate consciousness shifts in the body. Vibrational instruments, like the native instruments WalkingStar uses, can facilitate clarity in the mind, body, and spirit that in turn allow us to stay more present. Sound healing can also clear energy blocks in our body's system that may keep us from reaching our full potential.
Movement Meditation: Key Benefits of Mysore Yoga
While many might think of meditation as a linear practice involving a seated position and sitting in silence, the term itself is an umbrella for non-linear methods of presence.

This Psoas massage felt like a spiritual therapy session

Why you need to restore your winter skin with a Hydra Facial
What I learned most from lathering on skincare without routine facials, is there’s only so much you can do at home. At a certain point, the product usage becomes wasteful, because the skin needs professional repair and deep hydration for your products to work better at home. It’s sort of like styling your hair with heat and expecting it to be healthy with at-home conditioning or rebuilding treatments; eventually, you’re going to need a cut and a professional salon treatment to mitigate the damage for your products to penetrate deeper.
Yoga improves balance and it could save your life
Adult falls are the leading cause of injury and death for people over 65. With the proper tools and intention in a yoga practice, your balance could strengthen to the point where your risk of a fall is significantly decreased. For many, yoga is a meditative practice, but knowing it can play a role in keeping you safe, makes the peace of mind it brings invaluable.
Massages are not a treat after 30, they're part of your routine
