Psychologies Free Yoga Classes

We’ve got some exciting projects planned over the next few months at both Big Leap and Psychologies and I definitely need all my wits about me.  Just back from holiday, I feel revived but I know how quickly I can lose my energy to the daily overwhelm so have decided to focus on making sure I fill my energy tank daily. ...
