- the tree overhead, the stone beneath us, the bird, the beast, the star -
we are all one, all moving to the same end.”

About Rainbow Yoga
"Our unique style of Rainbow Yoga is communal, interactive and fun! It celebrates life and brings people together! [...] In Rainbow Yoga we connect with touch, massage, hugs, dance, we move together and we co-create the class in a magical way that creates a playful space for everybody to feel loved and nurtured. [...] We practice in a circle, often connected through body and heart; we honor and celebrate the circle of life." - Rainbow Yoga
