Putting in the Work for Your Health
Like any living system, we need to put energy in to get energy out. Our intentions, the quality of our effort, and the commitment we maintain all make a significant difference in our attitudes and experiences. Just the same, we need a supportive community to help reinforce our goals and share in the process along the way.
We weave the relationships of self and community throughout our work because we believe it is the key to sustained well-being.

Clinical Benefits of Yoga Nidra
Given the impressive historical precedence and personal accounts of the relaxation benefits of yoga nidra, we are beginning to see yoga nidra studied clinically. Physiological parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate, and blood lipid levels seem to be affected by regular yoga nidra practice.
Medical Philosophy
I believe there is a role of both reductionist and holistic ways of approaching human health, each paradigm opens portals to understanding different aspects of the body, mind, and spirit. My own professional pursuit is to integrate reductionism and holism in my personal practice of caring for others.
