Dechen Thurman

Dechen Thurman is an advanced certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, professional Ohashiatsu healer, accomplished actor and teacher of Buddhism. He has traveled often to India and Tibet, studied at New York University's Tisch School and Columbia University.

Description

Class description:
Join in a fusion of deep Hip-Opening and radiant Chanting! We each have within ourselves the powerful energy of Love and Joy. Our connection to the depth of our Soul is a gift already established - we have only to remember. When we do not, we stay highly insecure and isolated. Spiritual practice liberates from the tyranny of psychological enslavement to the conditioning of one's dualistic intellect. It comes to one who is grounded in the Truth which always lies beyond the Intellect--the realm of the limited concept. Asana practice and the chanting of the name of the Lord have the power to takes us beyond thought. So every person has the capacity to free unconditional Love and Joy within. Once established firmly, we have the ability to beam our Love and Joy on any situation, uplifting and healing Ourself and Others.
