Steady Bliss in the news

Steady Bliss™ was born one day when Anastasia was reading the ancient sage Pattanjali's Yoga Sutras. One of the sutras really spoke to her — Sthira Sukham Asanam (Connection to the Earth [or yoga pose] should be steady and joyful). Anastasia decided to commit her life to spreading steady bliss.

Since then, Anastasia and Steady Bliss™ have been featured in NY Spirit Magazine, Fit Yoga Magazine, Women's Health Magazine, Lucky Magazine and others.
