Our Body and Soul theme for February 15th, right after Valentine's Day, will be on "Opening the Heart" in a beautiful Manhattan high-ceilings showroom.

Julia (Personal trainer, Physiotherapist, Yoga and Pilates instructor), will guide you though a beautiful Hatha yoga sequence which will ground you into your body and help you access and open your heart. To ensure you are in proper alignment, Julia will personally help adjust and guide you to soften and relax into your body.

Vrin (Leadership & Mindfulness Coach) will be your guide to accessing your deeper heart. Beneath the fluctuations of varying emotions lies our heart that is filled with gratitude, kindness and compassion. She will lead you through a beautiful meditation done lying down after which we will conclude by raising our voices together through a sound healing experience.

Spots are limited to 10 individuals. Register today to save your seat!
