Grace Space

Grace Space is my second offering to the community. I used to have Shanti Yoga before having kids and felt called in a dream to have another space and was told to name it Grace Space.

I am thankful for all those who use the space to cultivate a higher vibrancy, the plants are noticeably also very thankful!
