September is National Yoga Month, and it is also National Skincare Awareness Month. Though yoga and your skin seem completely unrelated, we at exhale believe that the two are absolutely intertwined. Join us on the mat and get your skin glowing at the same time. We like to start our class off with a few deep, centering breaths.
