Maxwell brings his expertise as a KRI Level 1 Kundalini Yoga Instructor, California certified massage therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner, and musical maestro to his practice. While struggling with auto-immune symptoms, Maxwell sought out the support of the Center’s Pulse Clinic in 2007 to gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of dis-ease. With guidance, he was able to expand his health and self-awareness, through the Heart of Ayurveda and Kundalini Yoga (the Yoga of Awareness). Now, with all auto-immune symptoms non-existent, his experience is available as inspiration that change and healing are possible.
