There are three situations that really test my patience – Walmart, meetings and long drives with my two boys. Patience is “the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.” Yoga has definitely made me more patient. This isn’t to say that I don’t get annoyed by long-winded meeting […]

Breath of Joy Will Make You Smile
