“In truth, it matters less what we do in practice than how we do it and why we do it. The same posture, the same sequence, the same meditation with a different intention takes on an entirely new meaning and will have entirely different outcomes.” Donna Farhi Based on Martha's Vineyard and serving Yoga students and private clients in Vineyard Haven, West Tisbury, Chilmark, Aquinna and Edgartown.
