About 5 years ago, I was working on a 500 hour certificate for teaching yoga, but unfortunately, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, but while in the hospital, I did yoga daily in the bed. . . . I am now cancer free, so I hope to complete the course soon… 🚀 🚀 🚀
The following is my one of my written yoga exams. . .. 🚀 🚀 🚀

🚀 Never Too Late: Health is Spiritual Wealth 🚀 🚀
Introduction: Welcome to the class, for my name is Dr. Wayne Stein, and in today's class, I expect you to learn that yoga is a dynamic way to stretch and feel empowered because stretching is actually a form of exercise that will teach you to relax and not feel less stressed about life and living the day to day routines that can seem daunting.
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) 🚀 🚀 🚀
In Chinese martial arts, it is referred to the Diantien, associated with creativity and represents the center of the body connecting to the other Chakras and is a source of intimacy.
Let's starts with a pranayama energy meditative warm up.
Feel this warm up to order to generate internal heat, first in your mindset, and note how the heart is beginning to pumping warn energy as it continuously flows and blows through your spine and circles around the chakras of the body, feel how all the internal energy flows from this centering sacral chakra, just a few inches from the belly button.
🚀Inhale and see six petals of the lotus flower start to blossom; hold and close your eyes and see the color orange and we warm up and feel warms flow from this center.
Release as you exhale and let the energy allow the color of orange to flow throughout the body. 🚀
Repeat this 5 times as we warm up for our yoga; I may be walking and moving about throughout todays practice to make sure you are comfortable and helping you to relax.
Do not fear, for I am helping you to heal if you are tense.
Or I may be sitting up at times and doing Savasana to observe how you perform. 🚀 🚀 🚀
Yoga Warrior Pose: Virabhadrasana 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀
🚀 🚀 Now that we are warmed up, let us begin from our standing position, bring your left food about 3 to 4 feet behind you as you slowly exhale to the count of five and be sure to point your heals forward in one line. 🚀 🚀
Allow your left foot to go 45 degrees to the left; now warriors, inhale deeply and bring your arms to high into the sky. 🚀 🚀
Be sure to have your palms facing each other.
Now exhale and bend your right knee bringing your thighs parallel to the ground, so be sure to align your knee right over your ankle.
Hold this form and take a deep breathe to the count of five. Allow me to walk around and help some of you correct your stance.
Now with an inhale, strengthen your leg; now with an exhale, step with your feet together: okay now release your arm. 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀
Repeat but change sides and inhale deeply and bring your arms to high into the sky; to repeat, allow me to walk around and help some of you correct your stances.
This has been a mini yoga class. 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀
COOL DOWN: Sheetali Pranayama Breathing 🚀
Finally, we end with the Corpse Pose , so bring your feet wide apart and relaxed.
Keep your head and spine in life. Relax the forehead. Now we shall begin our cool down by slowly sitting up into a comfortable lotus position, and be sure to lengthen your spine. 🚀
I see you all, welcome back, now close your eyes and exhale completely to the count of five. One, two , three, four, and five. 🚀
Breathe in positivity, kindness, and love. 🚀 🚀 🚀
Now hold your breath. Now open the mouth and roll the tongue, inhales slowly through the tongue and filling your belly to the count of five: two , three, four, and five. Let the negativing and stress out. 🚀 🚀 🚀
Repeat this mantra. 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀
 . . . I am love. . . .
. . . . . . . I am love. . .Â
. . . . . . . . . . I am love. . . .Â
Repeat. . . 🚀 🚀
Let us do 5 rounds of this cooling and healing breath of the Sheetali Pranayama:
1) Breathe in again, hold the breath again, and breathe out again. 🚀
2) Breathe in again, hold the breath again, and breathe out again. 🚀
3) Breathe in again, hold the breath again, and breathe out again. 🚀
4) Breathe in again, hold the breath again, and breathe out again. 🚀
5) Breathe in again, hold the breath again, and breathe out again. 🚀
Now let us use this as this time to cool down and allow our spirit withing ourselves to reflect, for we are made of the lightness of love and are loved and love one another, for we are all each other.
Power to your peace and plenty in the healing heart of home, for we are walking home.
It starts with love . . . and ends with love, for we are made of love and light. . . 🚀 🚀
I have practiced yoga since I was a kid and was recruited to the number one high school gymnastics team in the country because the coach saw me doing yoga.
Thank you.
I have certificates in Pranayama Breathing and Mindfulness Wellness. Stay healthy. Walk more to be more.
Repeat this mantra. 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀
 . . . I am love. . . .
. . . . . . . I am love. . .Â

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Natural Gas Prices Soar as Arctic Cold to Blast Upper Midwest and Descend Across U.S.
As an Arctic blast threatens to sweep across the Upper Midwest and beyond, natural gas prices in the U.S. have spiked sharply, reflecting concerns about rising energy demand amid extreme winter conditions. This chilling forecast comes as millions brace for plummeting temperatures, heavy snow, and the potential for widespread disruption to heating and power infrastructure. A Polar Vortex on the Horizon Meteorologists have confirmed that a polar vortex pattern will push frigid air from the Arctic southward, engulfing states such as Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois, before spreading across the broader U.S. heartland. Temperatures are expected to drop 20–30 degrees below normal in many areas, triggering an unprecedented surge in energy consumption as residents and businesses scramble to stay warm. This cold snap is not only a human concern but also a market-moving event. The increased demand for natural gas, the primary heating fuel for millions of American homes, is driving futures prices to new seasonal highs. Analysts warn that households relying on gas-fired heating systems could see higher energy bills in the coming weeks, and cities may need to implement conservation measures to prevent shortages. Why Natural Gas Prices Are Rising Natural gas markets are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. When the Arctic cold settles in, utilities ramp up consumption to maintain indoor temperatures, leading to a sharp increase in gas withdrawals from storage. With inventories already below average due to a milder-than-expected start to winter, traders are reacting to the anticipated strain on supplies, causing spot and futures prices to surge. Industry experts highlight several factors behind the current price spike: Limited storage levels: Natural gas storage was already below the five-year average heading into winter, leaving the market more vulnerable to cold snaps. High heating demand: Millions of U.S. households rely on natural gas for heating, and extreme cold can spike usage within days. Production constraints: Some production regions face logistical challenges, limiting the ability to ramp up output quickly. Global energy trends: International demand, particularly from Europe and Asia, has influenced domestic market sentiment, adding upward pressure on prices. The Human and Economic Impact The immediate effect of the cold blast will be felt by residents across the Upper Midwest. Utility companies are urging customers to insulate homes, monitor thermostat settings, and reduce nonessential energy use to help prevent potential outages. Rural areas, where energy infrastructure is less resilient, may face intermittent gas supply disruptions, forcing households to seek alternative heating methods. Emergency services are on alert, with shelters preparing to accommodate those unable to heat their homes. Economically, the surge in natural gas prices can have a ripple effect. Increased heating costs may strain household budgets, while industries reliant on natural gas for production—such as chemical manufacturing and food processing—could face higher operational expenses. Analysts suggest that retail prices for gas-heated utilities could rise by 15–25% during the peak of the cold spell, depending on the severity and duration of the freeze. Preparing for the Cold Utilities and government agencies are taking preemptive measures to mitigate the impact of the Arctic blast: Natural gas suppliers are coordinating to ensure adequate pipeline flow and prioritize critical infrastructure. State authorities are issuing advisories, encouraging residents to stock up on essentials and avoid unnecessary travel during extreme conditions. Energy markets are closely monitoring storage withdrawals and production levels to prevent shortages and stabilize pricing. Forecasters are also emphasizing the importance of long-term preparedness, as climate variability and extreme weather events may continue to test energy infrastructure. Investment in renewable energy, resilient heating systems, and strategic storage facilities is increasingly being seen as vital for ensuring reliable access to energy during future cold snaps. Outlook for the Week Ahead As the Arctic cold descends, natural gas markets will remain volatile, with prices likely to remain elevated until temperatures moderate. Analysts advise consumers and businesses to plan for higher bills, while policymakers evaluate potential interventions, such as short-term subsidies or energy relief programs, to support vulnerable populations. While the Upper Midwest braces for frigid temperatures, heavy snow, and high gas prices, the situation underscores a broader reality: energy markets and weather are increasingly intertwined, and extreme cold events can have immediate, widespread economic and social impacts. Conclusion The upcoming Arctic blast is a stark reminder of how weather can shape energy markets and daily life. With natural gas prices soaring, households, industries, and governments face a delicate balancing act: meeting heating demands while maintaining affordable and sustainable energy supplies. As the cold wave moves across the U.S., residents are urged to stay informed, conserve energy, and prioritize safety, while analysts continue to track market responses to one of the most severe winter threats of the season.

What a beautiful lecture and 'I am love'. Good job.
I love yoga. Thank you for the reply.
Absolutely fascinating and informative. Unfortunately, at my age I could maybe get into some positions but not out of them,
