Welcome to May at Santosha! 

Finally, Spring seems to be in full swing, the vivid green buds are appearing everywhere and the spring flowers are looking glorious.  May is time when Mother Nature hints again at her abundance - as the garden and the countryside around us begins to blossom, we too throw off our stiff, dry aches and pains and step back into the suppleness of the season.  Come and join us as you shake off the winter stiffness, open the heart and blossom into fullness!
