About Us
What does Bhagini mean?
Sister, for the short answer;
but there are many definitions associated with Bhagini. The name “Bhagini” is defined in Sanskrit as भगिनी • (bhaginī) f. sister ("the happy/fortunate one", as having a brother) any woman. wife. This includes everyone.
How beautiful! The studio is a sister to Danville Yoga and Meditation Center and how fortunate we are to be in MOD.

Wednesday, 10a.m.-11:15 Yin Yoga with Betsy. Beginning July 14. $10
Yin Yoga uses long, passive holds to work on the deep, dense connective tissues of the body - the tendons, ligaments and cartilage - which are difficult to energize and open. This deep, passive practice settles you into poses for 3 -5 minutes, bringing you inward. Yin Yoga is a slower-paced, more meditative version of the physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. All poses are seated and use various props. All levels are welcome to this class. Just come with a willingness to surrender to the poses and a desire to create quiet and space in your day.

Lynn Boyd ~ Reiki Master Teacher and Stone Medicine Practioner
Lynn discovered Reiki and Earth Based Practices while searching for personal expansion and emotional healing. Lynn considers herself highly spiritual and secure in her beliefs yet felt something was missing and was being called to heal . Several years ago, I decided to give it a try after being gifted a session from friends. My life changed instantly and my first session confirmed all the signs I had been receiving for months! I cannot express how grateful I am for Reiki, the gift of healing, releasing deeply held trauma and experiencing spirituality as pure love.
I am extending gratitude for the opportunity to offer these natural healing modalities in Meadows of Dan. Please contact me directly to schedule a session.
http://www.still-waters-studio.com/
60 minute session- $60.00 and 30 minute session- $30.00.
At the heart of my practice is love. I believe what will truly heal each of us is learning to receive love and give love from a heart that is overflowing.
