Sane Living Center

Within all of creation flows the sacred dance between masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) energies. In our fast-moving, action-driven modern world, we invite you to slow down and reconnect with the natural rhythm of balance. This gathering honors the sacred feminine—through softness, creativity, intuition, deep listening, compassion, and the gentle art of allowing.
Join Lepeng Li, Michelle Chua, and Seshen for a carefully curated experience of somatic dance, gentle Yin Yoga, immersive Soundbath, and Reiki energy healing. Move freely in a space of trust, playfulness, authenticity, and non-judgment. Then, surrender into stillness with soothing yoga postures to release tension and invite ease.
Let yourself be bathed in live healing sounds—singing bowls, pyramids, and ethereal voice—and receive Holy Fire Reiki energy through guided meditation and hands-on support. Replenish your mind, body, and spirit. Leave grounded, uplifted, and ready to radiate this renewal back into the world.
All genders are welcome. No prior experience required.
Capacity is limited to 24 participants.
Energy exchange is $65 (Early Bird) thru 4/27 and $75 thereafter.

REviews of Root 2 Rise Yoga with Michelle chua:
Michelle truly lives out what she teaches. She is so much more than a yoga teacher - I learned this when I went on her exquisitely curated trip that she organized to Costa Rica this past June 2018...Hopefully like me, you'll be delighted by her effervescent love of movement, nature, and all people! Michelle clearly stands out with her beautiful and bright energy. I love how her practice and teaching encompass body, mind and spirit. She not only teaches yoga but lives and exudes it. Michelle not only teaches 'yoga', she embodies it fully with her heart and soul... Michelle is by far one of the best instructors I've ever had, period. Patient, clear in her explanations and demos, and so encouraging... My first yoga class was with Michelle years ago. You can have the best (yoga pose) sequence and not teach from your heart. With Michelle, I also feel her passion when I'm in her class. I can see she loves what she does, and she inspired me to want to teach yoga, too. |
Let's connect:Now offering private reiki sessions for stress relief and to promote healing.
I'm so grateful to have met Michelle! Her kind energy opened up my interest in pursuing yoga and meditation. She is such an incredibly light and soul. She starts with grounding ourselves through mindfulness and breathing exercise. She brings the most authentic energy to the class by sharing the history and understanding behind poses, names, and techniques. I truly appreciate her work and impact on my well-being! I’ve had dozens of instructors over the years, but Michelle is far and away the best yoga mentor I’ve ever practiced with. She epitomizes grace during these difficult times. Michelle has saved my sanity and my back while working from home, keeping me grounded with her sharing of yogic teachings and meditation techniques. Her repertoire of physical asanas is encyclopedic, and I’ve loved learning new poses and stretching my boundaries. Jump in, all. You’ve got this! |
