Guess what? We're starting a new weekly class called A Yoga of Business.

0:08.3

And this is for all of you who have sent me emails in the past and of late,

0:13.4

asking questions and seeking some advice on the business and production side of things.

0:20.1

I've been getting an increased number of those inquiries
