    Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.

    Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind
    me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind
    if I steal it? :P)

    I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.

    In case you have a minute, you can find it by
    searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.

    Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!

    I am so grateful that you share your Yoga Sculpt Sequence and Playlists! I am an ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor and have been doing Sculpt for over 7 years (Bikram yoga for many, many years before that) and have considered signing up for the teacher training. However Sculpt is MY time to focus, work and let go so I’ve hesitated in doing so. That said, the Sculpt instructor at the gym I teach at is unavailable to teach tomorrow and they asked me to fill in. I agreed to do it however while I know the sequences and poses, the thought was still a bit overwhelming with one day to prepare. I’m going to use most of this class above tomorrow and couldn’t be more confident and comfortable. Thank you sooo much! I’ll let you know how it goes. (fingers crossed)
    (I tell people Yoga Sculpt is like an intense work out and a warm hug at the same time. You feel energized and completely relaxed at the same time by the end. Such a cathartic workout.)
    Thanks again,
    Andrea
