His surroundings were governed by violence\, drugs and gangs\, which negatively influenced his perspective on life. At the age of 19\, he was shot in his femoral artery\, leaving him with the experience of death first-hand. After being paralyzed from the waist down for a year\, he went into depression from his endless self blame and shame. But he was always reminded by his supportive mother that life could still change for the better but only if he changed his story. Moving forward -he spent the next 10 years working on how to develop a genuine self-love relationship and approach to the trauma. \nArjuna now holds a Master Degree in Business Administration (MBA)\, and a deep passion for spreading awareness about conscious parenting and the urgency for conscious youth development. In addition to raising his own children\, Arjuna runs his nonprofit that focuses on empowering today’s youth to understand the importance of leading a balanced\, loving and mindful lifestyle.

She teaches a variety of styles from Gentle Restorative and Traditional Indian Hatha to Advanced Vinyasa Flow. She strives to make her classes compassionate\, creative\, professional and authentic. The safety and comfort of her students is her highest priority. Julie has been practicing consistently for 20 years and teaching since 2012. Originally a tree-climbing tomboy from St. Charles\, Illinois\, when she graduated from NIU\, moved west in the 90’s and discovered the yoga community and its open-hearted people\, it was true love from the get-go. She enjoyed an exciting 11 year career as a marketing executive followed by 7 years as a regional leader for a global charity. Her dedicated yoga practice sustained her through life’s ups and downs. Life tested her limits in 2010 when she lost both parents and a sister. During this time\, she personally cared for her mother who suffered from cancer and dementia while simultaneously caring for her small children at ages 1\, 3 and 5. She believes it was her yoga that gave her the strength and peace to navigate that incredibly difficult time Julie made a vow to dedicate the rest of her life fully to yoga and sharing it with as many people as possible. Now at 47\, when she is not busy caring for her family of 5 in Mission Viejo\, CA\, she spends most of her spare time teaching\, practicing or studying yoga. She humbly admits she feels whole. She breathes gratitude\, love and respect for her teachers\, students and all yogis.

This is an opportunity to unite through our diverse experiences of daughterhood and motherhood\, to bear witness to each other and drink from the well of sisterhood. We’ll meet once a month for two hours in an intimate group setting to explore a unique theme that will build week by week. \nWithin the safe container of our circle\, we’ll come to know ourselves better through self-inquiry practices and the experience of being mirrored by others. We’ll use the framework of universal archetypes to do this deep dive into our own relationship with The Feminine and how that plays out in our interpersonal relationships. We’ll explore the intricate tapestry of our mind-body system; witnessing how our anatomy\, physiology\, psychology\, sexuality and spirituality impact our daily life. \nOur time together will be a blend of movement\, breath work\, discussion\, and creative exercises aimed at providing opportunities for you to practice being on the receiving end of love\, from yourself and from the group. You’ll learn the art of self-mothering and have a safe place to share your victories and your challenges to others on the same path toward wholeness. This circle is open to all\, regardless of gender identify or relationship to motherhood. \n \nDates\nMonday Evenings \n\n\n1/27/20\n\n\n2/17/20\n\n\n3/16/20\n\n\n4/20/20\n\n\n5/18/20\n\n\n6/15/20\n\n\n7/20/20\n\n\n8/17/20\n\n\n9/21/20\n\n\n10/26/20\n\n\n  \nPricing\n\n$200 Pre-Registration before January 20th\, 2020\n$225 After January 20th\, 2020\n\n \n \n \n \nAbout Kelsey \n \n\nKelsey Delane\, E-RYT 500\, is a Doula\, Yoga Mentor\, & Reiki Master who guides fellow Yogis\, Yoga Teachers\, and mothers toward more sustained joy using time-tested\, practical tools.
