All right, despite all the odds, here we are.

This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast.

My name is Jay Brown.

If this is your first time listening,

let me welcome you. Everyone else, what's up? How is it with you in this moment? Like, how are you feeling? What's the mood as you're listening to this right now?

I'm happy to say that for me, in this moment right now,

feels pretty good.

Greatly assisted by the weather.

It is a beautiful sunny day in eastern Pennsylvania.

I've just taken a break from being in my backyard.

My eldest daughter is laying out and my wife is planting flowers

and my youngest daughter is walking around talking to the birds.

And I've snuck away right up here into the attic to bring this week's episode to you.

And I thought that would be nice because often it's like me coming up here later at night or in the

evening. And I just thought, oh, let's take this really good feeling with me into this week's intro.

You know, last week, I know it was a little bit sad and some hard things to say in here,

but it's not the whole story.

You know, today it's beautiful and I feel blessed.

Of course, that has required me to turn my eyes away from the screens.

On more than one occasion already today, I just pick up my phone.

Let me just take a quick look at the news.

Oh, no ceasefire, oh, the war, you got to turn it off.
