Summary
In each session, I strive to foster a unique sense of empowerment. Infusing Mayan wisdom with tailored meditation, I adapt the practice to the day's energy and the needs of my students. Through focused pranayama and precise asanas, I challenge participants while providing hands-on assistance, minimizing demonstrations to maximize personal guidance and growth.
