As was said in the classics, “Flowing water doesn’t stagnate, a moving hinge never rusts.”
#108 - Depression
Short Description:
Learn to transform difficult emotions into inspiration and inner peace without medication
Long Description:
We are not taught how to elevate our energy naturally. How to free ourselves from negative thoughts or heavy feelings.

#110 - Healthy Bones
Short Description:
Experience gentle, flowing movements that strengthen the bones and provide deep vitality
Long Description:
A healthy human bone is as strong as granite! The bones produce red and white blood cells, support the immune system and give us structure and movement.
