Experienced yogis have probably heard it time and time again. Newer yogis may have even heard it from their teachers after their first class. You know, something along the lines of: “During your first yoga class, you may have felt something inside of you shift.” “On your way home from your ...
Are you one of those people who envy the hair of those in all the shampoo ads? Well, you’re not alone. Our day-to-day living has an impact on how healthy our hair is, and so does the styles we wear it in. If you love working out, you’re probably frequently wearing your hair in a ...
