Youthful Yogini

This is my journey through yoga and healthy living. I am a lover of yoga and all things natural. This blog is not intended to teach yoga (although I am a yoga instructor) or to provide advice on healthy living. This is just my journey as it affects me. I do hope that this blog inspires you to begin or continue your journey through living a healthy lifestyle. This is not a blog for diagnosis or treatment of any kind.
