I’ve decided to expand my yoga practice. I want to understand more about the history of yoga, the philosophy behind the practice and really just more about the styles of yoga. In a class I’m taking, there is a huge emphasis on developing a daily home practice. This can be in addition to classes you… Continue reading Practicing

Reiki to the Rescue
This weekend was a great time with family. As I practiced standing firm in my individual sacred space, I allowed myself to connect with others that I know love and support me.
