Student Testimony
"I've never told myself anything positive before. I've never told myself 'may I be happy'"
- On mantras and affirmations.
"Yoga is everything."
- On how yoga is more than just stretching
"Oftentimes we get wrapped up in our daily lives. We forget to give ourselves a moment. It is like treading water for an extended period of time and not getting a break. I appreciated participating in staff yoga because it was a brief moment that allowed us to hold on to the edge, catch our breath, and regain focus and motivation to continue striving."
