Oh My Goodness!!! This is an answer to my prayer….I am in training to become a certified yoga instructor with my intention to work as a Christian Yoga Instructor. I had no idea if this was just a dream of mine and I was the only one in the world that believed in yoga for Christians! I live in Oregon and would love some more information on Praisemoves!!! My daughter saw a bumper sticker today on her way to work and called me right away!
Looking forward to hearing more about this heartwarming, exciting, and so worthy of program.
Great Blessings your way, Billie
