Welcome
You may be new to yoga, or you may have been practicing for years. But let’s face it, there comes a time when you have bigger goals than doing plank pose just so you can look good in a bikini.
If you need ibuprofen after every class, feel left out by the ubiquitous images of bendy selfie-worthy bodies, or don’t even know where to start, you are in the right place.
This blog covers both fun and serious articles about sustainable yoga for a vital you. It’s for people who practice yoga to heal mentally and physically, to navigate life’s ups, downs and transitions, and to radiate from the inside out.
You do not need to stop practicing after age 40, and you can start yoga now if you haven’t already. Pop the champagne!
Read. Comment. Contemplate. I’ll see you on and off your mat.
