    Jessica Humphries, Editor Australian Yoga Journal

“Thank you thank you thank you Ana for the treasure you have created. This book should be read by all women to once again harmonize ourselves with our natural rhythms. We gathered on a sacred mountain in Colombia, South America! A space by women and for women to connect with themselves, Mother Earth and the Moon. We shared the wisdom of this book and talked about our experiences with our lunar rhythms, emotions and creative forces. Women of all ages and backgrounds coming together (including my 4 month old daughter!!) to share knowledge and find out we are all so similar at our core. It was beautiful. It was powerful. It was simply amazing. The change in our world will happen through the women. Let’s continue to gather, share and learn. And of course, believe in ourselves!!! I highly recommend this book! So grounded and beautiful. Backed up with scientific research and ancient wisdom.”

It is an invitation to return fully into our bodies. Ana offers us practices which are nurturing, healing and can be integrated into modern day life. Practices are based on her extensive experience and are a compilation of well researched and presented material.
