Stick your feet up on a chair or curl up in your cozy reading nook, grab a big mug of your favourite warm drink, and settle in for the afternoon.

The cafe is a place where you can find reading recommendations, funny youtube videos, relax, restore, and ruminate on everything in your life that has gone wrong  rejuvenate.

I have a love affair with cafes. They're places that fuel creativity for me. Whether it's spending an afternoon working on a new project to the background of espresso machines or reading a new book with rain pounding on the windows, cafes give me a space to work, to relax, and to meet new people while I'm travelling.

I hope to capture that spirit in this virtual cafe, so if you want to grab a cuppa and chat about travel, mindfulness, yoga, or something else, send me an email at kayla@arogayoga.com!

Now place your order and choose your entertainment...

So here are some fun yoga videos, posts, and quizzes to help you unwind from the fight.
