The Truth about Options for Yoga Teachers (Part 6)

Partner Yoga: Usually, Partner Yoga is reserved to workshops or special occasion classes. When I first practiced Yoga, as a child, we did a lot of partner work.

If you’re not happy at your current weight, you won’t be happy at your ideal weight either. Although getting thin cannot make you happy, getting happy can make you thin. Take the fast road to your desired weight (and anything else you desire) by getting happy. When you get happy first, everything you desire will flow to you. When you get happy first, the weight will come off as a lovely byproduct.  Read more...
