Yoga Times September 2015

Yoga Times September 2015.     A new term is beginning once again and I have spent some time reflecting on how the practices of Yoga can be applied in our daily lives as valuable tools that may be used not just for repairing and fixing a multitude of physical aches and pains but for tweaking and finely tuning the body/mind to function and perform in the best way possible.
