You are here to stand tall on sacred rock, rooted in truth, rising from stillness. You are the lighthouse. You do not move. You shine. You are not responsible for who anchors or who drifts. You are responsible only for the integrity of your own light.

We can carry it brightly through our entire lives in a way that will inspire us and those around us to keep our hearts and minds open and curious. TBY Yoga & The Yoga Effect are excited to present Being the Lighthouse, a weekend yoga series featuring Desiree Rumbaugh, hosted at The Yoga Effect.

• New insights about connecting your arms to your upper back for greater stability.
• The safest ways to increase flexibility in your spine.
• Fun and challenging work that will help you with your balance and focus.

(Part 2) Saturday Morning: Balance of Strength & Softness: Shoulders and Backbends. Discover a user-friendly approach to working skillfully with sensitive areas.
