2012 WORKSHOPS
TBD
The yoga workshop is SOOOO much more than yoga. It is community and sharing, well researched guidance and... IT GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK. It has truly been transformative in my abilities and attitude in dealing with this crazy fertility journey… I know very little about yoga and this was entirely comfortable and easy for me to attend. I think all women who find themselves on this path should attend.
