CALM YOUR MIND, FREE YOUR BODY AND NOURISH YOUR SOUL
As our lives speed up, it becomes necessary to disconnect, to take a moment to breathe, evaluate and contemplate. Yoga through asana, pranayama and relaxation gives you the tools to restore and nurture. We all need to make an appointment with ourselves from time to time, to re-connect with who we are, to maintain balance and to re-charge exhausted batteries. So take a weekend off and join a yoga retreat!
