I first came to Halifax Yoga last September when I joined the 40 Days to Personal Revolution program.

My yoga adventure started just 5 months ago, back in Aug. The history of my yoga experience was attending 1 hot yoga session with my sister 10 years ago. I enjoyed it but never took my practice any further until recently.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
(At Halifax Yoga!)
‘ Twas the night before Christmas – and all through HY:

There are many ways that we identify ourselves, and sometimes it’s hard at times to dig deep and find out what makes us who we are. I was at a point where I was having trouble digging deep and finding who I was and what my purpose was. I had just graduated from Saint Mary’s, and was just laid off from a job I absolutely …
