If you’ve ever done yoga, you’ll know practices are about accepting where we are and refusing to compare ourselves to the human pretzel next to us, all while improving our mental and spiritual well-being. They are about setting our intentions as we inhale deeply before giving thanks and stretching. They are about moving forward into downward dog— despite knowing our life is heading into downward-facing spiral—all while trying not to laugh or break wind, of course. Breathe Again by Niki Hardy
