Certification Training for Personal and Professional Development and Deepening the Practice
Movement, Creativity, Expression, and Healing
I had the privilege of being mentored for 2 years by Eva Vigran in her Core Connexion Transformational Arts program and am a honoured to be a certified Core Connexion Facilitator. This healing modality opened my heart and dramatically changed the course of my life. I always hold a healing space in my yoga classes through techniques that I learned through this process and sometimes open my yoga class with authentic movement, as inspired by this process. To learn more about Core Connexion, please watch this short 5 min video. At the core of everybody is the dance. So simple and so inspiring. Thank you, Eva!
