My husband asked me to do yoga with him after my five-mile walk. I said yes, did 45 minutes of yin, knocked out my Zoom calls, and then picked up my phone and realized I hadn't checked it all day. One of the texts waiting was from him, saying the days he does yoga, he never checks his phone. So it's not always boredom. I reach when I'm avoiding something: my to-do list, the dog crate, the prep for my next Zoom call. Yoga isn't magic. Catching the reach is the win.
