I have a busy mind. I admit I am susceptible to lose control of what occupies my thoughts. Sometimes it is detrimental to my mind body health. I have learned however to recognize them, release the wasteful ones for necessary self-preservation. I take more time to process my reaction, if any. Or simply sweep the “fake” thoughts that want to rent space in my head that create F.E.A.R – False
Fusion enters our 12th year! That’s right, it was also on a Monday, March 31st, 2014, that I excitedly opened our doors for our unique way to explore wellness and restore with Fusion Yoga & Wellness. Your other home, your sanctuary away from home. I said to myself with faith, “if I build it with pure intention, they will come”. And you did. Thank you! I practiced then and now, the

She was right! Exactly 5 years ago today, I met with one of my first long-term private yoga students who wished to get healthier in mind and body. She knows who she is (respecting her privacy) I send a BIG shout out to say, “thank you”. We formed a special bond during our 159 Private classes and 1 Reiki session.
