This will be one of those moments in years to come that people remember where they were when they got the news. And this is what felt so yogic about it to me: the unifying experience of being present, together, for something that was at once ineffably shared and deeply personal.

Old favorite tunes provide a certain comfort, but new delights are lifeblood, and new challenges are the raw material of growth. 

We don’t give away beer, and we can’t vouch for what you’ll find on the Freecycle shelf, but time and again we’ve witnessed the transformative power of a great yoga class: it sends people home buoyed by something larger than themselves as they walk a little lighter and carry a little more joy.
