    • Powerful inquiries to help you learn to access the wisdom of your core, dan-tien, deep belly that will guide you to living a fuller, richer, more aligned life.

    • You’ll also learn how to take this activation and apply it to real-world, natural movement patterns, so it’s not just an isolated, disconnected exercise.
