Monday Jan 30th night Eischen's week begins

Taking this week to really focus on some Eischen's Yoga.

It's a wonderful version of Yoga that really help to speed up the recovery and healing process.

Tonight was a wonderful session of it.

Life is.....

Life is a lot like the martial arts.

 

Sometimes you tap them.

 

Sometimes they tap you.

 

But it doesn't matter

 

who "wins" or who "loses."

 

What matters is what you learn

 

from the experience,

 

And how you can apply that to your life

 

in order to become better.
