This week has been full and deeply engaging as I had the honor of assisting Dr. Ashwini Borate during her Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis clinics here in Dallas.

With my two regular online classes paused to support that work, I’m now offering two special make-up sessions — a chance to return to our mats, reset the nervous system, and release the residue of the week.

If your body and spirit are also calling for a gentle reset, I invite you to join me for one (or both) of these online sessions on The Alchemical Nest:

🌀 Alchemical Yoga — Thursday at 5:30 pm CST
A dynamic and adaptive practice to meet the moment with breath, movement, and alchemical awareness.

🌊 Friday Flow — Friday at 10:30 am CST
An intentional journey to wash off the week and step into the weekend with lightness, flexibility, clarity and ease.

Using Reiki energy combined with singing bowls, essential oils and crystals, a Reiki Deep Reset works at depth on balancing and recalibrating your energy, as well as focusing on specific areas and health issues based on the receiver’s physical, psycho-emotional and spiritual health and state of being.

You also receive feedback and recommendations to implement at home to support and expand the benefits of the session.

Reiki is a healing technique where the practitioner channels life force (prana or chi) energy into the receiver through her hands, to activate the natural healing processes of the receiver’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being.💫
