Yoga is far more than a hobby or exercise routine. For many, yoga is a path toward understanding: of one’s body, one’s mind, and one’s connection to the world at large. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has complicated yoga practice. It’s hard to know exactly what is and isn’t safe, and many yogi’s are struggling with the transition.
