Due to the recent spreading of Covid-19 into our area, I have been notified that we must suspend our yoga classes until further notice.

Authentic Living
The thing about yoga, is it can change us. Through breathing, settling, grounding, moving, flowing, we slowly re-align ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically.

By the time I got a new computer, I was four months behind on my 50… Continue reading 20 More Reasons To Do Yoga
