I’m still teaching yoga online as I have been doing since last March. This past week, on Tuesday, at lunchtime, I checked my class roster and to my delight, I saw one of my pre-pandemic regulars! We didn’t have a chance to connect immediately after class so I reached out by email to let her know how happy I was to have her in class again.
