We are so excited to announce Karena Virginia’s Summer Solstice offering this week, happening on June 1 at Monmouth Beach Yoga & Wellness from 12 to 2 PM. Karena is taking the stage at VibeWell on October 27, 2019 and if you don’t know her yet, you need to get to know her now!
Karena Virginia is a certified healer and registered yoga instructor who has taught in the Kundalini and Hatha schools for nearly 20 years. Her work encourages us to connect with our own personal truth through love, compassion, inner beauty, and radiance.
Now for some of the fancy stuff 🙂
Karena is the talent in the highly acclaimed yoga video, The Power of Kundalini Yoga, and the author of Essential Kundalini Yoga. Karena is also the voice on the IOS APP called “Relax and Attract with Karena.”
Karena is a member of Oprah Winfrey’s Belief Team, and she is a pioneer in the metoo movement who has discovered that the meaning of healing humanity starts with speaking truth and choosing love. She is passionate about helping others find their voices and heal.
So what is she doing at Monmouth Beach Yoga this week? Here are the details:
Summer Solstice is a time where we can embrace the gifts of the seeds we planted in the Spring. We are living in a new age where the impossible is becoming possible. The limitations of the mind are the only true obstacles for the miraculous to shine through. We have the capacity to merge our subtle body with the Grace and miracles of the higher realms in a much more tangible way than ever. Transformation occurs when we release the resistances that block us from experiencing the magnitude of our radiance. Using Kundalini Yoga, meditation and chanting, we will invoke the pure depth of stillness, extend love into our aura, and merge with the miracle of Guru Ram Das. All levels are welcome.
AMAZINGNESS! And of course, we never just throw one great workshop at you. We have a whole slate of opportunities right here:
