As we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week, this year the focus falls on the importance of community.
Joining us now to chat a bit about community as well as where this concept falls in yoga practice, is yoga teacher Dawn Blezard from Pathway Yoga
A birds eye view photo shows Dawn holding a pose on her black yoga matt. Her legs are crossed and she holds onto her toes on either side of her body as she looks up at the camera. She has blonde hair set in two French braids and is wearing a lilac long sleeve top with patterned leggings. The yoga matt is black with high contract purple alignment lines, which are designed to help align your body and improve posture during yoga poses.
