There is much fear surrounding COVID-19, commonly known as the coronavirus.

I worked really hard to get to this point, so I don’t think it’s a bad way to celebrate my birthday at all!”
Happy International Day of Yoga! It also happens to be Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year! Last week I taught my first yoga class! I was so worried about the class, but I survived and I’m officially a RYT-200. As excited as I am about yoga, I almost didn’t teach….
