Book Boosts Yoga As Mental Health Practice

Ataner007/Pixabay

It gives your muscles and joints a good stretching, but yoga is about more than just body health.  It is a way for practitioners to center themselves and find calm.

Kelly Birch of Ashland is one of the editors and the author of a chapter.  She visits with highlights.
