What is a yogic empath?
It just means that I can connect into what the client needs (emotional, physical, spiritual). I can sense as you move, where pain and movement blocks are built up and help you to find ways to release those areas and gain a greater sense of ease. For me, this is an intuitive practice as much as one coming from a more intellectual study of the physical body.
