  Sometimes we all need to take a moment to really reflect on where we are, what we're doing and if those two things are acceptable to us. If you find that either one of those things isn't bringing you joy, fulfillment or meeting your needs in some way, then this is definitely a great class to take. Saya presents a number of excellent tools that will help refocus, realign and realize where your blocks might be and gives practical tips for working through them.
