"Iâve listened to someone as young as 14 and someone as old as 100 talk about their close friends, and [there are] three expectations of a close friend that I hear people describing and valuing across the entire life course,â says William Rawlins, the Stocker Professor of Interpersonal Communication at Ohio University. âSomebody to talk to, someone to depend on, and someone to enjoy. These expectations remain the same, but the circumstances under which theyâre accomplished change.â

My friend Lizandra's been hospitalized with a cervical spine injury after a freak accident, leaving her hospitalized and unable to work.
If you don't know Lizandra personally, you may know her through her work. Not only is she a yoga student and teacher, she is also a Certified Holistic Health Counselor and Thai Massage practitioner who is passionate about helping people find their own way into holistic wellness in all aspects of their lives. She just moved back to Pittsburgh after living and teaching yoga in Haiti for 2.5 years, where she founded an amazing organization to introduce yoga as a transformational tool of empowerment to everyone, regardless of background and trains adolescents to teach kids yoga classes. Most recently, Lizandra enrolled in massage school so she can further her skills.

The Clymb has yoga rat towels for $18. They're super dope, cheap, and if you spend $25 at the site, we both get a $10 credit on our next order. Don't spend $25 and you're still getting my fave microfiber rug.

Personal training as physical therapy: I am pain free.
Gym activities with EJ.

I needed a trainer who could help me with weird aftermath of the assault without compromising my practice.
"Fix the scoliosis and get model-hot," I said. "Oh, and this is the intermediate and advanced series of ashtanga. Please don't fuck it up"
He's made good on all of it.

I've spent time this month with @[689010579:2048:Emma O'Neill], who helped sharpen my teeth in Mysore on my first trip. A major teacher for her, like Christine Hoar here, is Nancy Gilgoff.
