This book is a manual for Nicki’s unique Aruna Yoga Programme for personal awakening, healing and transformation. Her intention is to spread the teachings of Aruna Yoga and healing as widely as possible so that the recognition of the capacity to heal through the body, emotional release, and inner connection is made available to everyone, everywhere! The journey to self-awareness, awakening, and freedom is available here and now and it is Nicki’s highest vision to disseminate this to all beings, without exception.
