The word popped into my head as I made individual food and grab bags for my son’s birthday party. 

The agreed-upon 3 guests had increased to 4, 5, then 6 friends.

Yes, in NY we are back to school, back to work, and the idea of having so many kids at my house, albeit outside, gave me some intense coron-anxiety.

I only felt better after asking everyone to mask on the morning of the party. 

The feeling of anxiety, depression, highs and lows, are a natural part of living this human life. And I think you know what I mean.

For thousands of years, people have used Yoga to help them maintain the feeling of inner balance through physiological exercises that bring the nervous system back to homeostasis.

Despite its cultural association with acrobatics, meditation, or gumbi-like athletic types, Yoga is meant to meet you where you already are, even if it’s stiff, slow, or cranky. 

A few ideas on how we can help manage coron-anxiety, coron-depression, corona-I-don’t-wanna…..
