Edgworks welcomes two new yoga instructors this month!

  Kate Fontana came to the practice of yoga in 2002.  For Kate, yoga is a way of learning how to show up for life, to be attentive, fully present, and unified in body, mind and spirit. She has been influenced by Ananda, Ashtanga and Anyusara yoga. Kate teaches the new Tuesday morning class at 9:30.
