We question our ability to randomly find ourselves here and wonder how we’ll ever achieve this flow of connective ease?

Steph Richard is a lover of people, laughing, art, writing and most of all yoga. When she is not with her friends, who mean the world to her, she spends most of her free time centering herself on the mat, writing or laughing hysterically over a great stand up comedian. She is in the process of completing her 200 hour yoga teacher training and fantasizes of a world where people greet each other with downward facing dogs instead of handshakes. [email protected]
