Live Your Yoga series Instructor Kacey Kingry Each of us is on a spiritual path, whether we recognize it or not. For those who wish to actively participate in their spirituality, the ethics and concepts embedded in the teachings of Yoga Philosophy give us deep and rich insight into our own inner experience. There are lots of ways to practice yoga, and many of them don't have anything to do with stretchy pants and flexibility. Yoga is about the way we live. Join this four-part series where you will learn to see yourself and your life through a new, transformative, grounding and peaceful lens.
