I’ve learned through my yoga practice that the power of visualization can be vital to my body’s ability to heal. Now, I’ll admit to being a little skeptical about this. With the number of […]
Can Massage Therapy Deepen Your Practice?
photo credit: Average Jane As I’ve mentioned in other posts, I suffer from a bad knee injury, sustained about eight years ago in basic training.
