Re: Kundalini Yoga to Detox and Destress with Maya Fiennes (Acacia)

[Guest guest]

Thanks, . I think I'm getting this next

opportunity/coupon from Borders! I am finding that

Kundalini yoga is helping my back TREMENDOUSLY. Would

you believe that my back hasn't hurt in 3 days!!!???

I'm also doing T-Tapps primary back stretch at least

twice a day - it only takes 5 minutes,tops, so it is

easy to do.

I also think I'm breaking down and getting more

Ravi/Ana's. I'm hopeless.
