In this special episode of Pandummies, as we approach a new normal, we do a deep dive into our favorite diversion of recent lockdown times: "Normal People", a millennial coming-of-age story about two young people set in Ireland. The plot follows Marianne and Connell as they navigate their post-adolescence and pre-adulthood at each other’s side in the most heart-breaking, gut-wrenching will they or won’t they love story in recent memory.

Based on the best-selling book by Sally Rooney, it was recently adapted for TV and is completely breaking the internet like it TOTALLY BROKE US. In this episode, we tackle hugot and nostalgia in the time of covid, unrequited love, power struggles, and of course, our personal stories from the deep and deeply embarrassing traumas of our youths, including all the lessons we learned along the way.  No real spoilers ahead because you have to see it to believe it.  Join us as we open one more Pandora’s box for the pandemic.

On this episode, we are joined by Rianna Gatus (@riannayoga), a yoga teacher of 10 years and founder of the Beyond Yoga studios - which have grown over the years to 6 branches sprawled across Metro Manila and Alabang. Grounded in the foundation of her practice, we see basic yoga precepts applied practically and liberally as she takes care to fulfill her obligations to herself and her community.

@igoBeyondYoga conducts free online classes on their FB page.  For more information on the now-digital 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training with Rianna (and her work husband Ben!) held from May 18 to June 12, 2020, email [email protected].

Jes Tan Gan speaks to us about a less conventional style of parenting young children, the genesis of "The Egg Fairy" business, and how her zero-waste and eco-conscious lifestyle has been vital in getting her family through this pandemic.  She demonstrates how having a deep understanding of who you are and what you stand for stands the test of even the strangest times.   We are so grateful for her practical tips and tricks so we can all live a little bit better throughout the lockdown and beyond.
