Day 2 complete here. I am feeling good and had a freakishly calm Monday. 🙃 I found myself consciously pausing and slowing down when the day to day stressors started creeping in (the mad dash to get out the door to catch train, then rushing into the work day obligations to ensure I can get done in time to rush to catch the train home, to then rush to get things sorted ahead of collapsing in bed 🤪). It seriously felt good slowing down, pausing, taking in the present moment & my surroundings (horizon? 🙂). And then realizing in doing so that I was still able to catch the train, and that I had a more productive work day, and feeling (mostly 😉)peaceful at this days end is very cool. 🙏🏼

Hello friends, I am joining from Northern Virginia and am originally from Ithaca, NY. I am 58 and enjoy an active lifestyle (thanks in part to my dogs over the years and my current 3 year old boy dog, Bodhi 🙂). In my younger years I enjoyed running but now mainly walk and do light weight training a couple times a week, and was looking for something to help my overall health, mood, and to help my relationship with my body as a whole. I want to work on finding a harmony with my body, versus what a lot of times over the years, felt more like a battle between my mind and body (beating myself up for not doing enough, too focused on exterior, & not appreciating/respecting what was going on internally … I hope this makes sense 🙃) My knees are silly from running and I have some feet issues, thankfully nothing horrible. Bottom line, so happy to have found your you tube page a few weeks back and looking forward to learning, sharing, and building my practice with all of you!

@Kirby Mannon @John Cooper thank you, this is another piece I am grateful to be learning
