Yoga and journaling is a combination that is like cookies and cream. Why? Because yoga is more than just a physical form of exercise; it's a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I love enhancing my personal yoga journey through various methods, one of which is journaling.

Yoga came into my life at a time I really needed it.
