yogpulse.jpg

Clayton College of Natural Health Anastasia Halldin has created YogaPulse™, which is designed to help you reshape your body and transform your life by focusing on the way you move and the food you eat. The YogaPulse™ method is based on the principle of seven major pulse zones. The theory of pulse zones was created, tested and developed by Anastasia. It has its roots in ancient yogic texts and in Eastern medicine. Pulse zones are seven specific areas of your body where energy is highly concentrated. The YogaPulse™ program stimulates these zones, unlocks the normally stagnant energy and creates the sense of overall wellbeing, strength, fitness, flexibility, weight loss and a deep inner peace. YogaPulse™ is a real combination of East meets West for the best in fitness.
