At Dantian, modern western technological health and wellness methods are practiced along with various holistic approaches.  Admittedly, I am far from an expert in this realm, but to learn about some of the services available has piqued my interest in furthering my education in alternative health options.

3×30 Yoga is a new studio that offers guests a wide range  of difficulty levels and multiple styles.  The name comes from their concept that three, thirty-minute-long yoga classes per week will change your life.  At 3×30, the belief is not about how much you sweat during your workout, but rather, the consistency in which it is performed.  The quick classes at 3×30 Yoga are perfect for people with busy schedules.
