Summary

Tune in today as Rachel shares more than ten of her best tips to bring normalcy to your day, to move stagnant energy, and to clear your mind of repetitive thoughts so you can get through this period of isolation feeling whole. From doing yoga to making your bed, these small, day-to-day practices can keep you healthy and grounded in a time filled with so much uncertainty and loss of structure. The key to getting through this time is found in accepting the dualities of life; work and rest, moderation and excess, and reality and divine intervention. On one hand, Rachel expresses the need to acknowledge what is happening, honor the human suffering taking place, and not bypass the emotions that rise within us - only then can we be of service to the world. On the other hand, we need to pray, lean into trust, and put our faith in that intuitive power within us all that guides us on our path (as Rachel sees for herself through her garden, solar panels, online platform and even her burnout!). On days where you feel fragile and vulnerable, this podcast will remind you that together we are strong. You are not alone. We are all walking this journey together, and we can get through it together by taking good care of ourselves.

This show is now recorded from my house.

0:31.5

This show is always recorded from the comfort of my home.

So not much has changed on the Yoga Girl podcast standpoint.

0:38.9

In other news, the entire world has changed.

0:41.5

I feel like the world as we knew it is over since the last week's episode where I shared

0:47.1

that we had to take my daughter in to get tested for coronavirus.

0:51.1

We found out that she tested negative, thank goodness.

0:55.2

Otherwise I think our reality right now would be very, very different, probably.

0:59.9

But she's okay.

1:00.9

And I couldn't even really relisten to last week's episode because it was so hard for

1:04.6

me to process and talk about it.

1:07.0

I obviously cried all the way through.

1:08.7

It was really, really hard and traumatic.

1:11.1

And now I feel like we are all kind of moving through different stages of grief.

1:16.3

Personally, I have, okay, an owl just almost flew into the window in front of me.

1:24.2

Wait, wait.
