I am experiencing a rebirth of sorts. In my 20s and 30s, I was too preoccupied with getting good grades, working on an MBA degree, and balancing a flourishing career with the duties of child-rearing.

My Yoga Blog is Born
This week is a birthday of sorts. I decided to open up a new blog solely for yoga. It had been on my mind for some time already. I still have to see a comprehensive site or blog that would list yoga studios throughout the Philippines (in case there are people who wished to …
