Kingston Is a Busy Place

I spent the first half of this week hopping all over the place, finally coming to rest with my wonderful Kundalini Yoga class at Trueself Centre of Being on Wednesday morning (if you haven’t been there yet, do yourself a favor! It restores me, body and soul).

So here are a few of my photos of happenings around town… Yes, Kingston is a busy place.

Enjoy!
