Okay, here we are. This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. Welcome to you,

if it's your first time here today. And to everyone else,

what's up? How's everyone doing? I'm back. I am returned. If you were listening last week,

then you know, I was away for a week. I was on a once-in-a-lifetime family vacation to Hawaii,

which I'm happy to say went quite well.

There was one initial hurdle,

But fortunately, I responded well very quickly, and it didn't even end up getting in the way of the trip, I'm happy to say.

And it was just pretty fantastic, actually.

To be in Hawaii, my sister, shout out to Melissa and her husband, Kurt.

They've been many times, and they gave us what I would consider to be,

like an authentic Hawaii experience, where we hung out with people who live there and went, had a barbecue with them at the public park.

We didn't go on like big tourist, you know, high cost tours.

So we didn't get to see all the big sites or whatever,

but we got a very authentic experience of being with the Houno with the sea turtles and going swimming and

doing some snorkeling and just taking in the Ohana spirit. The life vibe there was very strong
