It’s difficult to put into words how healing yoga has been for me, ….in body, mind, & soul. When I was 27, I was going through a difficult life transition. I was looking for a place […]
My yoga experience has been more about healing my mind and spirit than my body. I began yoga last summer to gear up to do Yoga Teacher Training. I knew I wanted to learn more and heal. I knew that yoga was an avenue to get in touch with myself. I lost my mother at […]
COURTNEY My healing involves 10 years of scoliosis, trauma, and alcohol addiction. I am honest about my journey because this kind of honesty saves lives.
