At-Home Yoga

While I'm being super honest on the internet, I had a panic attack at my last in-person psychiatrist appointment before the lockdown (which was an SOS appointment to discuss COVID-19, of course). Instead of prescribing medication, my doctor instructed me to begin a daily at-home yoga practice. He told me: "I know you love Pilates, but yoga is more than an exercise, it's a way of being that I think will really help your anxiety." At that point I relinquished myself to the prospect of daily Sun Salutations.

As for where I'm getting my yoga cues? Again, apps. I'm particularly loving FitOn (pictured here), but there there are tons of additional yoga apps, YouTube channels, live streams, and more available for free if you want to join me in this.
