Fact. Not going to wait to the end to wrap … Continue reading What is Yoga? (Hint: It’s not just Pretzel Posing)

Identification & The Accountant Yogi
Who is I? (No this is not meant as really bad grammar - but I would expect some of that too). I've always been career driven, not that I really knew what I wanted to 'be'.
