“The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.” (Rumi)
You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Other Services
New healing technology offered in the studio- PEMF (Pulsed electromagnetic fields) BED
This type of therapy has been used to treat acute and chronic pain by helping to reduce inflammation.
It’s thought that PEMF therapy improves circulation and cellular functioning by increasing your body’s ability to release nitric oxide. Nitric oxide release is a common healing mechanism following injuries, and it may help reduce inflammation. (https://www.healthline.com/health/pemf-therapy-device#what-it-is)

Cost: £30 session (1 hour)
