i wish yoga wasn’t so expensive!!
Yoga at lunch sounds great, I would need and hour thirty break though in order to make it
This sounds like fun. It would help destress people.
i hate yoga. everyone takes them selves so seriously.
Yoga has never really been my thing, but reading about all the different classes offered certainly peaks my interest.
Mike bf keith and i started doing yoga together, we love it after a hard long hard day at work. Sandra Sun is right, it definitely helps with the stress!
