Yoga Teacher Training – Weeks 2 & 3
Well, I’m officially done with 3 weeks of Yoga Teacher Training and I’m still loving it!

Yamuna
Today I discovered Yamuna. No, it’s not a type of sushi. Not a small unheard of country. And it’s not Yiddish (at least I don’t think so!).

A Mantra
Recently with the start of my yoga teacher training I’ve been thinking about mantras, and more specifically thinking – should I have one??? A mantra (according to our good friends at Wikipedia) is “a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered capable of “creating transformation”. The word comes from Sanskrit and consists … Continue reading
