This was great! Learned so much I didn't know, and the question and answer period was really insightful. Keep doing what you are doing! So valuable to both teachers and the students receiving ... Blessings to you for sharing this invaluable material!--Lianne N.
We are so glad that you enjoyed it... and mostly that we all learned and now can hopefully better support cancer patients and survivors. They need our help no matter incarcerated or not! Hope you join us and GBYU for more discussions and courses!
Making a connection between Yoga and George Floyd, is like drawing a connection between Gordon Ramsey and Gandhi.
