A few more words about the "Rebirthing Yoga" Method

The ''Rebirthing Yoga'' Method shows a coming together of modern scientific research from the fields of neuroscience, biology, and epigenetics with the ancient science of yoga. Both disciplines arrive at a common understanding of the human mind and the spirituality inherent in human nature, revealing its infinite potential.
According to both science and yoga, physical and mental health are intricately linked to our energetic state. Unconsciously, everyone carries heavy emotional burdens and ingrained patterns and beliefs that hinder rather than serve development. These emotional blockages obstruct the flow of joy in the lives of people.
The efficacy of the method is consistently demonstrated when individuals are genuinely prepared for change and open to embracing happiness. It serves as a holistic purification process, addressing physical, emotional, and mental dimensions.
Resisting progress is like stopping yourself from moving forward. But if you stay curious and excited like a child, good things will happen. "Life always gives good things to those who work hard on themselves with honesty, sincerity, patience, and belief."
Maria utilizes the ''Rebirthing Yoga'' method, honed through years of successful experimentation. It seamlessly integrates psychology, yoga, meditation, somatic experience, and energy healing.
Through tailored techniques presented in daily workshops, Maria gently guides participants to release blocked energy from the body and outdated mental programming that hinders personal growth.
In the ''Rebirthing Yoga'' method, it is not the body that undergoes death and rebirth, but rather the energy within. As energy shifts, the entire being is transformed. The process is painless, effortless, and easily navigable for those who remain open.
Participants are empowered to determine the extent of their journey with the ''Rebirthing Yoga'' Method. Regardless of their chosen path, their energy will undoubtedly undergo profound transformation post-retreat. Maria thinks everyone has a strong spiritual part. She's excited to help people find it during the retreat and help them change for the better.
