It almost seems like a question that's going to be a part of our lives going forward is, "Have you had covid?" Probably like you, I know many people who have been dealing with it. Either getting it for the first time, getting it again, or dealing with “long covid” symptoms. Maybe this is you.

Because I know what it's like to feel alone... in a marriage, in a diagnosis, in healing (which is usually preceded by an unraveling)...

I wanted to tell you a little more about myself.

One of the big selling points of yoga is that it can make you feel
better.

This is evidenced by the messaging of many "yoga ads" I see
online:

- You're only one class away from a good mood.
- Every breath is an opportunity to feel better.
- 8 poses to make you feel better.

You know that yoga is "good for you." But what does that mean?

I tend to think of the basics, like better balance, muscle tone and flexibility, along with ease of mind, solid sleep and menopause management (maybe that's just me ;).

I recently heard the idea that life is 50/50 – that 50% of the time you will want the things that are happening, the things you call good. The other 50% can range from a mild dislike to the deepest devastation and despair.
