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 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 to begin for all the yogis and meditators who are practicing social distancing,

and I hope you all are, and you're not able to attend your local yoga studios,

Kamiyan has launched a virtual yoga and meditation studio where you can practice with great

teachers online and interact digitally

with like-minded folks from across the globe. It's completely free at one commune.com

slash studio. where we are and okay thanks for all the feedback you sent

connected to the special episode on coronavirus over the last weekend I hope that it provided some relief from anxiety and fear you may be

experiencing. And personally, I learned that I supposedly have a very calming and reassuring voice

that quite a few people use as a replacement for Ambien. But I suppose helping people sleep is not a bad skill to have right now.

I will apologize in advance for droning on endlessly about the coronavirus here on the podcast and on social media.

I have had a number of other kinds of podcasts interviews scheduled, but I've canceled them

for a number of reasons, pretty much because this is all I can think about.

And the episode that was previously scheduled for this week was about an experiment in cooperative living,

which I don't think is particularly appropriate for the moment.

But today, I am fortunate to have my partner in social isolation sitting exactly six feet away from me.

It's very sexy.

Yeah, Corona has not done a tremendous amount for anyone's sex life, that's for sure.

And of course, she's already added some levity and crassness to this particular episode.
