Welcome to Commune, a global wellness community and online course platform featuring some of the world's greatest teachers.

We are on a mission to inspire, heal, pass down wisdom, and bring the world's greatest teachers. We are on a mission to inspire, heal,

pass down wisdom, and bring the world closer together. This is the Commune podcast,

where each week we explore the ideas and practices that help us live this healthy, connected,

and purpose-filled life. As a quick note for all you yogis who are practicing

social distancing and not going to class at your local yoga studio, Commune is launching a free

virtual yoga studio where you can practice with great teachers online and interact digitally with your fellow

yogis from around the globe.

So just sign up for the commune newsletter at onecom for more information.

Okay, so it's all coronavirus all the time right now.

And since commune is focused both on well-being and community,

I think it's appropriate for us to devote some resources to both inform and discuss some of

the implications of this emerging global pandemic. I've also found that there is a lot of misinformation

which can stoke additional panic and hysteria.

I'm watching messages and memes go viral, pardon the poor pun, that are spreading dubious facts and creating more chaos.

So I feel some civic responsibility to use this platform to

provide solid information that can quell the uncertainty and fear that many people are feeling.

And like many of you, I have personally run the gamut of emotions from initial head in the sand to midnight panic. But now that I've been

more closely following this science, I am understanding the risks better. And while I am alert,

I am not as anxious. My mantra has been this, Stay centered. Follow the science.

Don't succumb to fear.

Spread information.
