“The wisdom I learn from my mat has enhanced the way I approach life emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. For me, yoga is wholeness. It’s love. It’s connection to myself. To my source. It’s unity of all things, body, mind, breath and community. The wisdom I have learned on the mat has totally allowed me to open to life as it comes and to healing myself.” – Kim Newman, Owner of Revival Room Yoga & Fitness
