Join us every Sunday after the full moon from 10am to 12pm for an empowering session of Yogic Self Defense with GuRubee.

Yogic self-defense is a holistic practice that integrates traditional yogic principles with self-defense techniques to empower individuals both physically and mentally. This practice focuses on developing inner strength, awareness, and confidence through a combination of yogic breathing, mindfulness, and physical self-defense skills.
