Meredith's yoga recs
I pretty much just searched youtube videos for yoga when I started and found her videos to be the most down to earth, so I did her 30 day intro to yoga challenge. She's also from ATX which gave me a taste of home during quarantine which was very welcome as well.

Then, I switched to the Peloton app, which is not free. It's 12.99 a month, but I liked the app because it was not just yoga. It included strength, outdoor running, indoor cardio, etc. I felt like during quarantine where everyday is the same, it was nice to have some options outside of yoga. 

Last resource I will say (which I have not tried), is that some studios are offering virtual class options. If yoga is something that you think you might like, but are overwhelmed by the number of studios and which one might be a good fit, then quarantine is the time to try. You don't have to leave your home, and it is pretty easy/judgement free to try different places, until you find one you like! When we all feel safe to return, you will have a good idea of the place that you would like to go to, which is a huge step in the process! 

Meredith and Monee set out to tell you who the heck they are. And to answer a few burning questions: What exactly IS wellness? There's a Richmond, Texas??? What is a pager? What is an ICEE?
