You’ve just sat down for a long-awaited coffee with You. Or, better…

Click the Radio to listen to this week’s edition of Yoga Hub Radio. 2 hours of lots of different laidback sounds. I really really enjoyed taking time out to do something that I really enjoy which I haven’t done for quite a while with everything that has been going on in order to try and make a new Yoga business work. I know a lot of people will not like seeing the words ‘Yoga’ and ‘business’ together but without the…
