It’s Christmas. Ok, it’s not. But it may as well be for us. It’s International Yoga Day and if you’re like us here at Amodrn, that’s just as good.
Like eating, breathing and sleeping, sometimes it feels as if yoga is part of our survival. It helps us to focus and stay calm, gives us clarity and sets us up for the day—and we think that’s worth celebrating.
If you’re new to the practice, what better day to begin? And if not, no doubt you want to give it thanks. So whether you’re a novice or an expert, prefer power or poise, there’s something here for you.
