0:00.0	All right, here we are.
0:13.6	This is J. Brown Yoga Talks podcast.
0:16.0	My name is J. Brown.
0:18.2	Who are you?
0:20.1	Does this happen to be the first time you've ever listened to this show?
0:23.6	If so, welcome. Nice to meet you. Everyone else, what's up? How are we doing? Actually, don't answer that.

0:42.1	feeling right now without being able to look them in the eye or just be in the same room with them

1:55.5	I do hope that you're feeling okay.
1:59.5	I hope that life feels less dystopian to you. Actually, let me correct that.
2:05.0	It's not life. Life is a wondrous phenomena that we are all experiencing together. It's a miracle.
