A week or so ago I received a letter from one of my students who is part of a prison yoga/meditation course. In his correspondence, he lets me know that he began his sentence when he was 20 and is now 60 years old. In nine months he will be set free. His question to… Continue reading A Question from Prison

Yoga and heart health?
Hi everyone. How are you doing this afternoon?
I just finished teaching and starting to prep for tonight’s yoga session. I love ending the day practicing with you.
Although we may not get our hearts pumping very fast while we practice every Monday and Thursday night, stretching the body and breath control impact much more than just the muscles and fascia being stretched. The body is a unified expression of life. All is connected. Yoga’s benefits are innumerable.
I look forward to seeing you there. If you can’t make it, I’ll record the session and post it once I process the video.Don’t forget to invite a friend.
Your patronage keeps the class open for everyone.
See you in a little bit.
