What's New on Bindi Blogs

Well folks, I did it!
On February 25, 2014 I officially launched my dream. That was the day I announced my departure from the job I've held for the past 15 years.
You better believe I exhaled.
When I first began practicing Yoga in 2004, I had no idea where the journey would lead. To be honest, I didn't give it much thought. I came to love Yoga and since then, Yoga has led me to even greater love in the form of people, places and experiences. In those teachings, I learned first and foremost to be of service, to make a contribution to my world, to my community and to my family.
