Inspirational Reading

While I believe the best and deepest knowledge can only be sought inside yourself, I am often inspired by the words of others that resonate with that inside. There are some fairly well-known books that I’ve read after I started my Dahn Yoga practice that not only touched me inside, but validated and resonated with […]
