The yoga instructor, who operates Spirit Tree Yoga in Cornwall, already knows what area of her two-storey, three-bedroom home she would like to renovate – her cramped and nearly counter-less kitchen. “It’s hard to cook when you have no coun- ter space,” she lamented during an inter- view with The Journal.
