Thai Massage
A full-body treatment that works along the meridian lines, with optional assisted stretches. It's like having yoga done to you! Every session includes hands, feet, neck, back, arms, legs, and scalp.
Your choice of style: dry pressure through loose, comfortable clothing, or a relaxing oil massage. Pressure ranges from gentle to deep.
Remedial focus: Sessions can target specific concerns such as frozen shoulder, tech neck, jaw and facial tension, headaches, and restless sleep, plus scalp work to boost circulation.
Add healing energy: Deepen your session with Kundalini Reiki, Gold Reiki, singing bowls, or tuning forks for brain-state entrainment.
Session length: 1 to 4 hours.
YOGAS
Asana · Meditation · Mudra · Japa Mantra/m (vocal or thought assisted meditation) · Chakras (energetic vortex-junctures)· Pranayama (breath work & discipline) · Kundalini (the sovreign sacrum-to-cranium dynamic of power and life force energy which moves through coiling energy)
FLEX AND STRENGTH
Asana focused on building mobility and flexibility. Class can flow like a Vinyasa, slow down into Hatha, or rest into Yin, with warm-ups drawn from the Five Tibetan Rites, Surya Namaskar, or Sukshma Yoga depending on your needs.
YIN YOGA
Settle into each pose for three to five minutes and let body and mind soften gradually. Along with greater range of movement, this slow pace gives you space to observe your own thoughts and emotional state.
SUKSHMA YOGA (Subtle Yoga)
A gentle practice to help you simply feel better, especially if you haven't been moving much. Opens mobility from the toes to the eyes.
THE FIVE TIBETAN RITES
A simple five-movement repetition practice said to slow and even reverse the aging process. Offered as a mini class or paired with meditation and Dharma talk.
HATHA YOGA
Sun salutations and foundational Hatha, centered on the mind rather than the body. We use the body to shift neural activity in support of mental and emotional health, then close with 15 to 60 minutes of seated or reclined meditation toward dhyana (meditative absorption) and samadhi (ecstasy of oneness).
JOURNEY THROUGH THE CHAKRAS (WARNING: SPOILER)
Beyond the rainbow: the chakras as they were originally taught
Most people know the chakras as seven glowing, rainbow-colored wheels stacked neatly along the spine. It's a beautiful image, but much of it is a modern invention.
The familiar seven-chakra model reached the West largely through a single sixteenth-century text, translated in 1919 by Sir John Woodroffe in The Serpent Power. The original tantric traditions, however, describe anywhere from four to twelve or more chakras, depending on the lineage. There was never one agreed-upon number.
The rainbow color scheme is even more recent. It emerged in twentieth-century Western spiritual circles, largely in the 1970s. In the classical texts, the chakras carry very different colors, shapes, deities, and seed sounds, and each lineage imagined them in its own way. Later still, Western teachers layered on associations with endocrine glands and personality traits that appear nowhere in the source material.
None of this makes the modern system worthless. But understanding where each piece came from allows you to work with the chakras as living experiences rather than as a color-coded checklist.
In this class, you'll:
-
Explore how the chakras were described in the classical tantric texts, and how that picture changed as it traveled
-
Work with Shakti prana through breath, voice, and mental focus
-
Learn to awaken Kundalini safely and in a grounded, healthy way
-
Develop your own felt sense for assessing the condition of your chakras
A deeply supportive practice for recovery, self-knowledge, and anyone ready to meet the chakras with fresh eyes.
INTRODUCTION TO TANTRA: YANTRA, MANTRA, MUDRA
Tantra yoga meditation for cultivating Shakti power
Tantra teaches that the body, sound, and form are not obstacles on the spiritual path but doorways into it. This class introduces three of its essential tools, and how to weave them into a daily practice that deepens meditation and replenishes your psychic energy.
Yantra (sacred geometry): Visual diagrams used as focal points for the mind. Gazing into a yantra draws scattered attention inward and gathers it into a single, luminous point.
Mantra (sacred sound): Vibrational formulas that tune the mind and nervous system. You'll learn the meaning, purpose, and proper pronunciation of the Gayatri Mantra, one of the oldest and most revered mantras in the world.
Mudra (sacred gesture): Hand positions that seal and direct the flow of energy through the body, anchoring your intention in physical form.
The practice: We begin with Surya Namaskar (sun salutations), with new variations revealed the more we practice together. From there we move through mantra, mudra, and breathwork into a deep, tranquil meditation where the mind can rest and your energy can fully recharge.
No prior experience is needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to feel what happens when body, breath, sound, and focus align.
TANTRA FOR VITALITY AND EMBODIMENT
For men and women seeking strength, vitality, and a deeper sense of self
Tantra views the body not as something to transcend, but as the very ground through which we awaken. These practices build emotional strength, vitality, and a natural sense of grace and poise, from the inside out.
It begins with knowing yourself
Empowerment starts with honest self-knowledge: your proclivities, strengths, and weaknesses alike. We begin by grounding in the center of your being and surveying your own mental and emotional landscape, so the work that follows is rooted in who you truly are.
The practices
-
Asana: Postures that open, strengthen, and awaken the body
-
Muscle control: Subtle engagement techniques that gather and direct energy
-
Breathwork: Pranayama to balance and stimulate your vital force
-
Healing Tao exercises: Taoist practices for cultivating and circulating energy, introduced in your first session
Together, these bring the whole body into a fuller, more vibrant experience of being.
Rooted in classical wisdom
When time allows, we draw on foundational tantric texts, including the Vijñāna Bhairava (Wisdom-Experience of Divine Consciousness) and the Spanda Kārikā (Union With the Sacred Tremor). For further study, visit the Tantra and Healing Tao sections of the library.
All sessions are educational and instructional.
TANTRIC DANCE KRIYA
A progression from shaking and dancing, to meditative stillness, to pure vocal toning for chakra tuning. This kriya clears mental and emotional clutter and moves beyond physical form toward the essence of being, offering a direct taste of dhyana and samadhi.

Kundalini Reiki
What is Reiki? Reiki (pronounced RAY-kee) is a gentle Japanese healing practice developed in the 1920s. The name combines rei (universal) and ki (life energy), the same vital force known as prana in yoga and qi in Chinese medicine. A practitioner acts as a channel for this energy, directing it to where your body and mind need it most.
What is Kundalini? In yogic tradition, Kundalini is the dormant energy said to rest, coiled like a serpent, at the base of the spine. When awakened, it rises through the chakras, the body's energy centers, bringing vitality, clarity, and a heightened sense of aliveness.
Kundalini Reiki brings these two traditions together. Alongside the soothing, restorative qualities of classic Reiki, it works to gently stimulate and move this deeper current of energy through the body.
What to expect: You'll rest fully clothed, lying comfortably, while hands are placed lightly on or just above the body. Many people feel warmth, tingling, gentle waves of movement, or simply a deep calm, and it's common to drift into a dreamlike state. There's nothing you need to do or believe; just relax and receive.
Sessions are designed to help you:
-
Clear energetic blockages and restore a sense of flow
-
Ease mental and emotional strain
-
Release patterns of physical pain and tension
-
Feel grounded, elevated, and renewed
Kundalini Reiki can be enjoyed on its own or added to a massage or sound healing session.

OFFERINGS
Reconnect with and remember your power
I provide immersive experiences privately and with groups.
Sink deep into your inner sanctuary on a sound healing journey through a custom natural soundscape. Relax and slip into meditative tranquility. Feel tension melt away, find relief from pain in the body, and leave with a renewed sense of energy and well-being.
Why sound matters
We are shaped by what we hear. Regular exposure to harsh, jarring noise keeps the nervous system on alert, and over time that stress seeps into everything. Discordant sounds breed discordant thoughts. Thoughts vibrate outward as words, words crystallize into behavior, and behavior settles into habits, tension, and even chronic pain.
Our bodies are mostly water, and water is the element of emotion. When we're surrounded by noise, that inner sea is stirred into turbulence, affecting the rhythms of our organs and the tension we hold in mind and muscle.
The experience
In these signature bespoke offerings, you'll luxuriate within a custom-crafted soundscape. As the sound washes through you, feel yourself cleansed energetically, mentally, and emotionally, returning to your natural harmony, and to your power.
