Just a reminder that many of our classes are still livestreamed on Zoom if you feel the protocols are too disruptive for you to enjoy your in-person experience.
I appreciate and understand your disappointment and frustration, I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel it deeply as well. I want to stress however, that I fully support the government and our elected officials who are doing their best in a rapidly evolving crisis. I have been fully vaccinated and am wearing my mask when required; I don’t want anyone to confuse my disappointment with dissent. I would kindly ask you all to remember your Yamas and Niyamas, do your best to cause no harm to yourself and others and to make every situation better because you’re a part of it.
Namaste
Shawn
