awakening to love
I hope my Awakening To Love blog inspires you to practice yoga, and perhaps one day come see us at the retreat center in Sweden.
Yoga can change your life, I know because it happened to me. I had a prestigious career in political science that was taking a heavy toll on my health. I wanted more freedom, love and joy in my life. So, I took a huge risk. I put my career behind me and left for India to study yoga.
I'm here all alone for a week at a tantra festival at one of Scandinavia's spiritual hubs. Everywhere around me, there are people hugging and smiling.
