It's better together! Or at least more interesting and challenging - which is good, because you can learn so much!

Songs of Whales Are Sang Within Us
We are so busy making noise on a surface of the oceans that we have no chance to hear what's going on in the world deep down beneath it. A world full of life and beauty! I wonder, doesn't it sometimes apply to our personal lives, too...?
‚Thank you’ Post For My Yoga Teachers :)
I started practicing yoga in 2010, but it was the Teacher Training Course in 2016 that has shaped my understanding of yoga and helped me to develop grounding, nourishing base of my everyday practice.
