If you are one of us, then this is the perfect time for you to let all of that out, to the benefit of your mind, body and spirit. Strengthen your body, learn new muscles heretofore unused, and leave class feeling softer and more relaxed in your neck, shoulders, and back. What a load released! Now you can really relax! Namaste!! . . . keep reading
