With
Vickie MacArthur
At its essence, yoga is a practice of falling in love, returning to Oneness, and remembering the Love we already are.
We breathe. We stretch. We connect to our body to heal and grow.
We slow down. We listen. We observe our thoughts. We honour our feelings.
We breathe, we soften, we open our hearts.
Like a lotus growing out of the mud of our life, we stretch together towards the Light.
