I think .... No, I KNOW the honest love that is going into showing others a way to heighten and enlighten their lives through Yoga..is beyound Yoga, it comes from a deeper place..UPRISING YOGA gives love, guidence, strength, discipline and courage to allow oneself to change. I know the one great tool of positive creation comes from Gods Love… Through Yoga and Meditation one will succeed in finding that Love. We thank you UPRISING YOGA (and everyone involved ).. for helping us.
