Ask 5 people how they are feeling right now, and I bet at least 3 will say they are feeling tired, a bit run down, and generally low energy. It’s become so commonplace to be tired in modern life that we all just assume that’s how it has to be. If we want to be […]

What’s The Difference Between Yoga Therapy And Yoga Classes?

Yoga is a very personal thing. We all bring different stuff into the class with us: Emotions, moods, physical abilities, aches and pains, attitudes, energies.
