The power and worship of the goddesses of yoga has intrigued me ever since I learned about these kick-ass yoginis during my yoga teacher training. I’m a big fan of Lakshmi and an even bigger fan of all the mere mortal women who are truly goddesses in my life. I can’t even tell you how [...]

I have to let you in on a favorite go-to album for my yoga class playlists.
