dena@zenlifeyogaboutique.com MANTRA Peace, Love, and Light Ask for support from something higher than yourself, that which provides you the next breath, knowing you are always held in love and light. Shanti Shanti Shanti (-Dena Leibowitz)

Whether on or off your mat, show up.

Everyday, i show up, fully present.

Connecting to my breath to my higher source, welcoming the arrival of something new, something beautiful into my life, my mind, my body. On my mat i can connect and hear my greatest truth and release my fears with courage and compassion and in those moments of discomfort i discover my value and worth.

I want to teach and share this healing path to everyone. If you keep returning to your mat you will learn to love yourself.

You will learn to slow down and hear how fear and doubt show up in the body and limit your breath while in a pose. You will learn how to release yourself from the inner prison that causes addiction, anxiety, depression and aggression. It takes many falls trials tests to learn and discover who you truly are and tap into courage to detach from things that are not good for you that limit you to what you are capable of becoming. Discover the power over your mind and body and how to use them to lead a loving creative life. Never give up. Be in tune with your body your energy your soul. Love yourself, take care of your body, enjoy every step, stay aware yet mindful and savor each breath and new adventures that you explore.Namaste
