"This is corpse pose—the only pose where I truly feel confident." I am happy to report that I, too, have mastered the corpse pose, Michael. I can now achieve the corpse pose with great expertise anywhere - while standing in line at the post office, while sitting in my rocking chair, while waiting in traffic, while pretending to listen to my neighbor talk about her cat. So far, so good. As for the tree and the downward dog... maybe tomorrow.
What a brilliant read. Almost had me choking on my coffee because of just how relatable the entire episode was! Yoga has an uncanny way of bringing light to all that is bizarrely beautiful in this world. What a whimsical journey indeed
"This is corpse pose—the only pose where I truly feel confident." Yes! I, too, have missed attending yoga classes, Michael. I haven't ventured back yet, but I know it's gonna be a struggle. Good for you in getting back to it!

haha! but don't get too comfortable in corpse pose while you're driving... things could go very wrong.
