Houston has been an inspiring place for me as I have gotten to know the yoga community better. I first met my #ARTYOGAPLAY student Angela Venegas when I was teaching yoga at Big Power Yoga Memorial.

After finishing Heidi Priebe’s book, I came to the realization … Continue reading
For Day 20 and Day 21, I have created two posts about The Dark Side of Being Positive. Part 1 (For Part 2, head over to Day 21.)
