Long Covid
It has been long in sooooo many ways. Since March 2020 my business has gone through the wringer! I have done my best to roll with all the lock-downs, restrictions, and vaccine passports.

Authentic Living

Sometimes it's uncomfortable - these buried thoughts, feelings, and emotions that start to surface. Sometimes we feel down right crazy like "why is this happening now?" Sometimes we abandon our yoga… Continue reading Authentic Living
