Moleskin:
Thanks again for the opportunity to lead. It was fun to try to come up with something new and fun; challenging, but attainable. And somehow tied to Christmas (Partridge in a Pear Tree). I thought of doing a 12-days-of-Christmas, but that would be way to much like hot yoga, not recovery/stretching. Anyway, I hope you guys had fun trying Bakasana. Let me or HT know.

Thanks for the take-out, Paper Jam.

Stay safe, enjoy time with friends and family, and keep Christ in the center of your Christmas.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened.
Matthew 11:28
