Find Your Flow:
An African Yoga Journey to Inner Harmony

Under Anne Shalo’s expert guidance, participants embarked on a journey of self-discovery. The session began with grounding exercises, centering the mind and preparing the body for the practice ahead. 

Through a series of gentle poses and mindful breathing, attendees explored the interplay between breath, movement, and ancestral wisdom.
