    I have done yoga when I was younger. In recent years, there are too many elements I can’t do, but I have taken chair yoga classes (offered by my union of retired teachers.) Hopefully, in-person classes will resume in the fall, but I still practice at home.

    With recent stresses, I have added a little meditation, using a Tibetan singing bowl for focus.

    It does help me clear my head & relax.

    Do any of you practice in any way?

    That's something I need to do more of. (or is it "more of which I need to do"?). Anyway, I took a beginner yoga class at my gym, which got sold out. I enjoyed it, except for that dreaded downward dog. I should do some of the classes at the Senior Center here.

    I don't think getting off the floor counts as yoga, but watching your ice melt in the glass may help in meditation.

    I thought the bear was looking into a fondue pot / fountain full of chocolate. Mmmmmmmm chocolate!

    No, he’s looking inside the bowl to see where the sound is coming from. He’s a curious little bear.

    I believe that's the rare and controversial "downward honey pot" pose.

    I have taken some classes in my younger days, but any more I just get on my bike and go for a spin.

    Just a quick 20 - 30 minute ride helps set me right.

    I have the following shirt
