A few weeks ago, a friend asked me about yoga. “I don’t know anything about it,” she said. I was very surprised – I thought everyone knew about yoga and the benefits it can provide a stressed-out mom! My love of yoga started when I had a job with a reduced fee gym membership.

My husband and were accountability partners and we went from 4-5 days in our first year down to once a week to 1 to zero. We eventually just stopped going. This
