					<description><![CDATA[When I was a child, my mom went back to school to practice Five Element Acupuncture. Since then, she was basically the family doctor and just about any ailment we had, we could heal ourselves. Needless to say I learned so much about traditional Chinese medicine and the five elements (fire, earth, metal, water, wood) from her...]]></description>

I notice when something excites me and draws me in, and then follow my impulse to determine my next step.

Ma Yoga has truly had such a positive impact on my journey to motherhood. From business venture, to pursuing motherhood, to way of life, I am now open to receive.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As a mother to a 5-year-old, coffee has been my best friend for the better part of 5 years. If we’re being honest here, we’ve been friends a lot longer than that, but our relationship really kicked up a notch in motherhood.

					<description><![CDATA[ My wife gave birth to our third child (I carried the first two), and suddenly we were both working from home while our kids tried to do school from home, too. It was chaos. In the middle of it all, I had a huge realization: I wasn’t happy in my marketing career, and I didn’t want to put our kids back in daycare. What I wanted was to be home with them while they were young, and to finally pursue the things that made me happy. One of those was yoga.]]></description>
