Two free classes next week with the fascinating Amy Matthews. If you like the details of anatomy, you’ll love her.

FREE movement clinics [...]

Yoga teacher training is opening up my eyes to a whole new world. As part of my yoga teacher training, we attend Kirtans, a lovely, free-form mash-up of music, call and response, and chanting. I’d never been to one before, and to be honest had never even heard of them. Now I wish I had [...]
