A virus brought the World to a standstill. Circa March 2020 is when worldwide activities started shutting down in an attempt to flatten the curve. Most activities moved into online space.
Physics of Pranayama (#physicsofpranayama) went online (Zoom) on March 20, 2020. The Excel day calculator shows that
June 28, 2020 was the 100th day.
The 100th day came at an opportune time: A customary annual break for Guru Purnima.
This year in his message for Guru Purnima, Guruji Sri Sri Ravi Shankar asked everyone to Review, Rededicate & Rejoice.
Review one’s journey, how far have we come in the past year.
Rededicate our commitment for self development for another one year.
Rejoice in gratefulness for all that we have been given in the past year.
So we did; Review of the Physics of Pranayama sessions’ impact (specifically for India audience). This is the bottom line:
