My teacher from gobodhiyoga.com told me this, “I like to think of the movement between one yoga asana and another as the song of my practice, and each individual pose as the space between the notes that gives the intention behind the movements their personality rhythm and expression.” Syl Carson Sometimes my practice is…

Three years ago, I embarked on a personal journey of self-study. That desire led me to sign up for a yoga teacher training with Bodhi Yoga(gobodhiyoga.com).
