In many of the fitness centers and gyms where ‘yoga’ is taught, it is the physical aspect that is […] The second 21-day yoga challenge program concluded successfully on Saturday, June 26. It is quite remarkable that all the 15 participants kept their commitment to come in every morning at 6 AM for the entire 21 days. A few students who missed a day or two had to do that due to circumstances beyond […] As many of you are aware, the next 21-day yoga challenge program will begin on June 6.
