Balance Your Workouts The muscular system, unlike all of the other systems of the body, does not automatically find balance – but you can balance your body with a mix of strength, cardio, and flexibility. In exhale classes, we balance your muscles with equal amounts of strength, cardio, and flexibility so you can

THE DEEP ROOTED BENEFITS OF YOGA
by Edward Vilga   There’s an ancient parable about blind men encountering an elephant for the first time.
