Our meet-up group’s hope is to create a safe space for women to practice yoga with other women in the most limitless ways possible. Clothes can be limiting, in a physical, emotional and spiritual sense: Physically, the clothes limit the way we move.  Clothes are limiting. That is their basic purpose-–to limit your body’s experience of the elements, and to limit other people’s ability to see your body. Practicing yoga nude liberates your body, and doing it with other women heightens your sense of …

Maum Meditation uses a logical and unique method to subtract the human mind which is an accumulation of pictures from the past. The human mind is always changing and is always trying to add more desirable experiences and conditions. There is no end to this addition, so it is a stressful and busy mind. The way to find peace and clarity is to know the original mind, the universe mind, by consciously taking the time to subtract the past that has been recorded and stored within the body and mind. N …
