April is also Earth month, and there’s nothing that will make you more Earth aware than this spring weather. In support of Earth month, Moksha Yoga will be fundraising through its Grow Your Yoga campaign to support Pull-Together B.C., a group that works to protect our Earth’s precious clean air, soil, and water. See Moksha Yoga’s Burnaby website on how to get involved.
