Time for Me, Time for Thee: Part 1 - Finding Balance through the practice of Yoga

Finding Balance in a frantic World. Yoga is about connection.

In order to be there for others, we need to make time for ourselves, to restore, reset and reconnect. During these three sessions, there will be focus on connection, fun and relaxation.
