"What to do when life happens?"

"Nothing lasts forever, including injuries."

"Keep your hand in, do something, anything."

Adam discusses how to navigate the challenges that arise in yoga practice when life throws unexpected obstacles in the way. He categorizes these challenges into three main areas: physical setbacks, mental-emotional struggles, and circumstantial changes. Adam emphasizes the importance of adapting one's practice to suit individual circumstances, maintaining a connection to yoga even during difficult times, and recognizing that true growth often comes from facing adversity. He encourages listeners to embrace the journey of yoga, understanding that it is not just about the physical postures but also about self-inquiry and personal growth.
