All right, whoever you are that just hit play, here we are. This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks

podcast. My name is Jay Brown.

If this happens to be your first time here, let me welcome you.

Everyone else, what's up?

How are things with you today?

Do you feel pressed for time, or are you having a leisurely way about you?

I've been thinking a lot about my relationship to time and how sometimes it feels like time slows down and life's not moving along at all and then sometimes it feels like

it's speeding up and some of you if you've been listening for long enough might remember a few

years ago i was gifted a genuine cuckoo clock that runs on weights and pulleys with no electricity.

I really love this clock because it teaches me about the malleability of time.

For one, if I don't tend to it, if I don't pull the levers twice a day, I will literally

lose track of time. Of course, I can always look on my phone, but I'd like to imagine what it

was like before that, you know? I was even trying to recall, like, how did I set my clocks before we had the phones?

I kind of remember there was like a phone number you could call from your landline.

For those of you who remember landlines, you could call a number that would give you like

the official time.

Or when I was growing up, you could look on the TV to get

the official time. How did we set our clocks? I don't really remember but my point is that I feel like

I have often thought of time as being sort of this fixed consistent thing and I really don't think

it is. I think sometimes it speeds up and slows down and swirls around. And I think sometimes it

feels like time is in relationship to what I think of as life's momentum.

Like this time last year is when I was contemplating opening the yoga center.
