TESTIMONIAL: My husband and I use the meditation techniques learned in Urban Reset every day, and they have kept us grounded and positive throughout the pandemic – even through having a long and serious bout of COVID-19 ourselves. Our “happiness scores” on the ReWi app survey have continued to increase throughout 2020, despite increased life difficulties, and we attribute this to the daily meditation practice we learned from Kim. I would highly recommend Urban Reset in the best of times, and even more so right now! ~ MC, Neuroscientist

Next Round coming up in August!
Adults should get to go to camp too! Here’s your opportunity for daily yoga camp without disruption to your regular daily life.
Here’s how it will work: i will develop a sequence for the class. I will teach it at the beginning of camp and give you a written copy of the sequence complete with stick figures. After the first two classes you will practice at your own pacing using the printed copy.
Each day when you arrive you can let me know where in the sequence you would like support/tips. I will work with you individually when you reach that point in the sequence.
This is an amazing opportunity for you to practice daily and to receive individual attention, which will support you in developing your practice. You will see what you can achieve in a short period of time with repeated practice. You will also get to enjoy the many benefits of a devoted daily practice.
