There are more video classes, practice tips and tools than ever before in history, and yet at-home practice is just as challenging as ever. So what do you do? In this week’s Yoga Talk Show, Lucas shares his personal tips and tricks for taking yoga from a “here and there” practice to a total lifestyle shift. He’ll give you simple strategies for integrating your practice in all aspects of your life, from morning to night.
