Kaizen Centre Yoga – Setting up your Sunday!

Yoga in the Jewellery Quarter could be the best way to uplift your body and mind on a Sunday! Sundays are a time for resetting, refreshing and rejuvenating. Shaking off the week before and setting your sights on the week ahead… an opportunity to take stock of where we are, dream of where we want to be and set our goals for achieving those dreams. Buuutt… that can all go out the window if we wake up at 1pm, crawl to the sofa, order a pizza and watch Netflix all day! The secret to getting the most out of your Sunday is...
