I am a fan of your work, have attended your workshops in Northampton MA
I have been struggling with the demands of my job as a nurse these past 5 months and feel so mentally and emotionally exhausted that I feel a need to flee nursing.
Your podcast today has reminded me that this horrible time is, in actuality, a push to go inward.
I would very much like to accept your invitation to receive the Sublime quartet for free.
Thank you
Hi Theresa,
Please email us at info@yinyogaschool.com to receive the Quartet!
Awesome Josh! Thank you!!
That was terrific. I love your very thoughtful approach in reflecting on your interview. I more deeply understood what was discussed in that interview and will practice the art of awareness in a deeper way. I too found myself agitated in my yin practice during Covid – and actually increased my power classes to “calm” myself. So wonderful to notice fully. Thank you for your thought provoking reflections.
You’re very welcome, Meg. Glad you enjoyed the episode.
Even with this very serious matter I found myself laughing at myself and with you. Thanks, I needed that! I love the visual of the wave rising, cresting and fading.
