There are many Poses suiting the Taurus constitution, but one of the best is Ardha Chandrasana, the combination of physical exertion and beauty inherent in Half Moon Pose are a perfect repository of Venus energy. Taurus likes knowing its roots are firmly embedded before opening out. This balancing between stillness, read inertia, and movement, is [...]

Not to stand against men, or the men who wrote the biblical original ten. Not to declare myself as only a feminist.
