Owner Mike Frayer states “ I was thinking that this would be a nice way for people to come in on that day and take the opportunity to reflect and heal. Yoga is about the union between body and mind, and yoga helps people to heal the mind.” Mike goes on to say “I also thought it would be a nice way to honor those who lost their lives and to celebrate life. That’s what inspired me to do a “karmic yoga” day.”
