The Coronavirus pandemic that wreaked havoc in our lives nearly three years ago is back with another variant. Omicron XBB.1.5 and BF.7 are among the new variants on the block, with symptoms ranging from fever, cough, sore throat, running nose, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and body pain. As we know, those with low immunity are more likely to catch the virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the stress of commuting and bearing the brunt of traffic is less, a different kind of stress takes over every time we hear of a new variant. Isolation from family, friends and loved ones causes anxiety and depression. If our homes are not equipped to allow us to work productively, our jobs are harder to excel at. Not to mention, the thought of being \u2018locked in\u2019 is never an assuring or positive one for the human mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a way, yin yoga provided a safe space since the first Covid wave. Many turned to online Yin yoga courses and classes<\/a>, and some took up 50 hour Yin yoga teacher training online programs<\/a>. Even today, yin yoga continues to be a way for practitioners to rest and restore, while improving health and well-being from the comfort of one\u2019s home.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
