We take health and wellness very seriously, but sometimes it’s good to just sit back and laugh a little.
If there’s one thing that give me the giggles it’s setting up my yoga mat right before class and watching these big burly dudes walk into a yoga class with a cocky smile.

What happened next was seriously hilarious as they soon realized that mimicking the instructor’s movements and poses would not be as easy as previously expected.
