Goddess Pose (Utkata Konasana) • Yoga Basics I know that most of the time more force creates more resistance, and though usually the harder choice, by letting go just enough the universe has a funny way of working things out — the way they should.  To those that mocked my vision.  And yet, we try so hard to be her.  Let your heart be your dating rule book guide.  Rather than envision my studio as a service-based business, I built it on the concepts of growth and learning…a space where I encourage students to stop looking out for themselves and begin looking into themselves.  From the imitators and posers who hid behind a thin layer of mud.  I prefer my coffee in the morning and my wine at night.

Victorian-Era Photos That'll Make You See The Creepy Time In History In A New Light

We read so much about the Victorian era that it”s easy to forget its namesake. The time period was named after England”s Queen Victoria, who reigned between 1837 and 1901. During this time, London was the center of all things Victorian, and it was quite an interesting place to be.

It”s obvious why so many creepy things happened during the Victorian era when looking at London”s winding, narrow cobblestone streets and alleyways. Yet despite the creepiness of the era, the city was also amazingly beautiful. Take a look back in time through London”s history at these creepy but cool photos of the city, which were all taken between 1875 and 1886.
