I’m not suggesting I’m even near where I want to be. Or that I’m trying to be some idea of perfect. That’s not really the point.

The person who makes your clothes. The person on the other side of the world eating a sandwich at the same time you are eating a sandwich. Personally, I feel like this is the stage of real magic and growth. Stage I helps…
Introduction to Desk-back Firstly, I need to point out that similarly to the majority of the population, I work in an office at a desk. I also must highlight that IĀ never had any real back pain to speak of until I was involved in a car accident 3 years ago.

‘Dwell with the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.’ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations.Ā I’ll keep saying it until I’m blue in the face and Why? Because there will never ever be enough of it around. I make mistakes. I get things wrong. Every day is a new opportunity to be better though and that’s all I care about. I care about being better tomorrow than I am today. Is YogaHub the best Yoga studio…
