My gratitude has evolved into joy over the past couple weeks as I’ve begun to feel embraced by the wide arms of Cleveland’s yoga community. Yesterday evening, I taught an open-level vinyasa class at the Source Yoga Studio. I was encouraged to share an excerpts from the class, which was inspired, I am certain, by the wild and freeing sequences of Tory Jenis (Blackbird Studio, Ithaca, NY).
