Bikram Yoga on a Sunday Afternoon
Sunday, February 10th, 2008I am so excited! I teach exercise as part of what I do for a living but it is also my passion and my idea of having “me” time. It’s one thing to perform for a group or to train people and I love that I do workout with them but it’s another thing to take [...]
