Spring is in the air…

Happy Spring Equinox! 

The sun is stronger, the days are longer and this beautiful lightness is beginning to emerge. Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth, when the earth awakens from its winter slumber and bursts with new life. As yogis, we can tap into this energy and use it to cultivate our own growth and transformation.
