0:00.0	One of my favorite things is when listeners of this show connect with me on a practice level.
0:07.7	Sometimes that's at an in-person gig, but more often these days, that's via my live-stream
0:13.6	subscription.
0:14.5	I don't know if you know this, but I teach four classes a week and I live-stream them, and you
0:20.4	can participate in them from anywhere in the
0:23.3	world. Now, I've been doing that for a number of years and up until now it's always been a one-way

1:15.9	It's the J. Brown Yoga live stream subscription.
1:19.8	You can find it at J.Brown Yoga.com. All right. How about that? Here we are again. Unless you're new, in which case, welcome. All the rest of y'all, what's up?
