YOGA FOR PELVIC PAIN
Some of you might know, last July, I completed a 200hr yoga teacher training. These three weeks were not a walk in the park. It was both physically and emotionally challenging. Through this experience, I learned a lot about myself and deepened my connection with universal love and compassion.
