Introducing Budding Lotus Yoga
I am excited to introduce my new business name, Budding Lotus Yoga.
Behind the Name: I chose Budding Lotus Yoga as the name for my studio because we are all growing out of the darkness, seeking our inner light, and bringing our beauty towards the sun. Most of us have not fully blossomed because we are continuously evolving into our fullest expression of self. To quote Zen Master Thich Nhat Hahn, “No Mud, No Lotus”. I for one, know I am in a state of constant evolution and without the grounding forces of mud and root, I am not able to achieve my goals. I invite you to connect with me on your spiritual journey of growth as you find your path to the warm light of the sun.
In addition to offering private one-on-one yoga sessions designed to suit your body and assist you in achieving your goals, I now offer private sound healing and tuning fork sessions. The healing properties of sound have been renowned since ancient times for medicinal and therapeutic purposes. I do not claim to be a doctor, but I can say from experience that sound healing has deep and true effects on the human body. Whether you want to simply relax for an hour, target specific areas in your body, or improve emotional balance, sound bowls can help improve your overall health. Tuning forks are effective tools that target specific areas in the body in the musculature and in the seven major chakras. Tuning forks can be used to help release blockages in the chakras and tensions in the body.
As I move forward with my business, I will update this page with sign up options for any of the methodologies mentioned above. I also offer group and individual sound bowl sessions. For more information, please reach out to me directly at [email protected].
