0:00.0	All right, here we are.
0:13.1	This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast.
0:16.1	My name is Jay Brown.
0:18.0	If you're new today, welcome to you.
0:26.4	Everyone else, what is going on? How are you feeling?
0:40.1	I hope this moment finds you feeling reasonably well, all things considered. I'm wondering if in this moment that you're listening to this right now,
