“The human body is a sacred manifestation of the cosmos recreating itself along its original patterns. Its living expressions are tangible emanations of breath that are formed around a seed of light. Each moment spent not speaking a love poem to our planet is a moment wasted in time, a moment lost forever. Start telling a new story now.”
