YOGA ESSENTIALS
…new year, clean slate = a great time to return to (or start with) the basics. yoga practice, like a lot of stuff in life, is founded on really good basics.
think of cooking…a grilled cheese sandwich is simple: bread, butter, cheese. high-quality ingredients and really good skills at the stove take these simple ingredients and turn them into, well, heaven.
(yes, you can use GF/keto/vegan substitutes in this metaphor. you do you.)
