I was in India when the United States began to shut down. After my return, I got in one workout at my gym before all fitness centers in New York were ordered to close that night at 8 p.m. My ballet class had already been cancelled. I now needed to determine how I would exercise my body during this COVID-19 crisis.
On the last day of my India tour, I participated in a yoga class offered at the hotel. Before returning to ballet classes five years ago after an absence of over two decades, I had been practicing yoga; and now seemed like a good time to return to that practice. I recently heard about free yoga lessons on YouTube that were offered by a woman named Adriene. She offers a variety of single class videos from which to choose that are designed for all levels. Among the offerings are several 30-days series of which I chose the latest, Home. I am now up to a second series.
Please stay safe, healthy, and free of COVID-19.
