Hi everyone. I hope you had a good weekend. Yesterday we celebrated Valentine’s Day. Maribel and I went to the beach and saw the sunrise.

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.
-Carlos
