5 Simple Things to Make a Difference by Leeann Kime

I am often asked by my yoga clients “what are some things I can do that will really make a difference to my body and my well-being”.

There is often something that I intuitively know will help a client and then I have some very special profound and easy yoga postures that I offer.

I would love to share them with you in this article, and you may already be aware of them or even practice them for yourself.
