31、a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced?

38、e life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区).

Were lucky.”We moved back home in August. With December coming, theres still reconstruction work to be done, s

45、nion in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar fascitis in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga
