Beyond My Comfort Zone
While I prayed over tarot cards to uncover the deepest truth of my dharma, seriously… I realized I’d lost track of my yoga practice. And by loosing track I really mean lost inspiration. This happens every now and then I think to everyone. I am a goal oriented person. However, I learned a long time ago that goals and yoga just don’t mix. It was usually when I stayed consistent the transformation would just happen. But when I got to …
