Our present lifestyle has us running all of the time with demands, stress, worry and more.

Healing, softness, release, relaxation, restoration, stillness, breath - these are what we need to settle deeply into the part of our nervous system that helps us rest, digest, and heal fully.
Help your body find softness with breath, mindful movement, stillness, and presence in this short adrenal fatigue hormone balancing practice where we focus on the bladder, liver, and kidney meridians (those closely related to hormone balancing in the body) as well as compressing and opening the space around the adrenals themselves.
