40 Days to a Personal Revolution
Your personal revolution is calling and it is time to level up your health and vitality!
Join us for 40 days of unlimited yoga, meditation, nutritional support, and journaling, starting Tuesday, January 22.
Weekly meetings held on Tuesdays from 7:15 PM - 8:15 PM.
Program is co-led by HOME Instructors and Baptiste Certified Instructors Liz Snyder and Michelle Bass.
During this 40 day program, co-facilitators Liz Snyder & Michelle Bass will lead you into your own personal revolution. You will come to understand that all health and vitality is the outward reflection of a pure heart and right intent. Through the four parts of this program, yoga asana, balancing diet, meditation, and excavation questions, you will start to see that transformation happens naturally. You will lose weight, if that is what needs to happen; you will become less reactive and more calm; your bad habits will start to lose their grip on you. You will discover that external changes happen when we first adjust the inner workings of our minds --when we adopt a philosophical foundation that gives our growth greater purpose and meaning.
Why 40 Days?
The number 40 holds tremendous significance in the realm of transformation. It takes 40 days to ingrain any new way of being into our system, and that is what we are seeking to do: wipe out the old and welcome in the new, In 40 days, you can shift into a whole new way of being and living.
