Instead of focusing only on the outside appearance of your body, Sierra Bender Empowerment Method (SBEM) leads you to an inside-out transformation. Participants come full circle as all four essential bodies are strengthened, healed, and integrated together. 

Sierra Bender Empowerment Method (SBEM) teaches people of all ages and fitness levels to become instruments of their own recovery and health by connecting them with their body’s natural intelligence and healing capacity. 

Physical illness is rarely created in a vacuum. Most people first suffer emotional, mental or spiritual illnesses, often in the form of stress, depression or anxiety. And because many people believe these afflictions are a necessary part of life, they either never learn to manage them or remain unaware of their presence. 

Each of these bodies has its own intelligence and its own essential role. The weakening of the spiritual, mental or emotional bodies is no less debilitating than a physical condition that we can plainly see. While traditional medicine is usually necessary for the acutely ill, getting and staying well requires more than just treating the body.

Our multi-modal approach to healing, which includes yoga, meditation, fitness exercises, breathing exercises and many other activities, restores balance and harmony in the body and mind and re-establishes the connection between the two.
