Join me #28daywelcomebackyourcycleawarenesschallenge
This 28 day challenge was born from a place of welcoming back the whole month of a woman's cycle. Often, it's just the time of menstruation that we give any consideration to our cycle. Our complete cycle is the inner compass to our bodies needs, and a guide to living a more balanced, meaningful connected life.

Shakti Kundalini Breathwork
Kundalini is the divine feminine energy located at the base of the spine, in the muladhara. It is represented by the coiled snake that once awakens moves up the body, it is our life force. It has been with us since birth and potentially could lie dormant unless activated. It is our inner fire.
Full moon and ovulation is the time of my cycle that I release this energy, to carry me through the entire cycle.
