______
As an older adult (age 85) with a background in psychology, I had dabbled for years in meditation. When Janaki was presented to me as an excellent meditation teacher, I attended her classes and am delighted to say that I am experiencing a deeper level of calm emanating from my meditation. Janaki's ability to simplify "the very complex,” is working for me and I am appreciative of the gift of finally "getting it.” Thank you for transferring to me something that words are frequently unable to convey. I am enjoying a welcome feeling of comfort during a year of innumerable personal challenges. Thank you.
—Paula Flynn, Psy.D.

Release tension throughout the body for complete relaxation and cellular regeneration. Giving our nervous system, physical, and mental bodies time to rest and genuinely release improves sleep and enhances our immune function, helping to stave off chronic illness, inflammation, allergies, and other symptoms of prolonged tension o exhaustion.

Blankets and bolsters are used to support participants in passive stretching postures that are held for up to 10 minutes or longer as the muscles gently loosen and stabilize in a deeper level of relaxation.
