After doing my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Rama Lotus in Ottawa in 2004, I decided to add a weekend training on pre-natal yoga at Esther Myers in Toronto a few years later.

I Didn’t Do Yoga For Five Days
And this is what happened... My back seized up! In one way I wasn't surprised, because we had spent days cleaning, organizing, and re-arranging for the holidays.
