Thank you Mike – you are inspiring me to practice through the winter, one breath, one vinyasa at a time with good grace

Thank you Mike for explaining what it is that you do on the inside – when to the outside it looks like you are just standing there. This will be helpful for my next trip to the yoga studio.
