Join Samar Charafeddine “Shanti”, this Sunday, September 1 at 10:00AM in a dynamic Hatha flow drawing attention to our chest and heart area, where we receive and give love. By opening our collarbones, upper lungs and heart, we’re flushing out toxins resulting from stress, and allowing our body to become balanced.
“I’m very fortunate to be able to share my passion with people. And I’m equally blessed to be able to learn from them. Some of my most enriching life lessons have come from my students, young and old, abled and with special needs. They show me the true wonders of yoga every day. For that’s what yoga is for me: a culture of giving back, a way to help people’s inner self shine through, a vessel that lets them see the essence and joy of life inside out” Samar, “Shanti”
