Here's a Valentine's gift from my heart to yours.  Try this simple, "Heart-to-Heart" exercise with your self and with someone special.

Want to give a yogi a Valentine? Check out all the big Love in this month's Heart-Full YogaBlaze edition! (Sorry for all the pink, I just couldn't resist this month!)
 
As for the chocolate?  Try my favorite - Fran's dark chocolate covered caramels with a dusting of rock salt on top - wow!

May you have a love-filled February.
