Yoga For Loneliness

What a year twenty was. Among conversations about homeschooling, panic buying, working from home, Zooming, career-pivoting madness, there was one thing I found myself talking about frequently with students and friends: loneliness.

Busy modern life had kept this feeling at bay for most of our adult lives. We had all been so distracted by the bright shiny lights of multitasking busyness that there was, quite simply, never any time to be “lonely”. And it wasn’t just those living alone who felt it. Some people were surrounded all the time by partners, flatmates, children, animals — but they hadn’t realised how desperately lonely they were until stuck at home with their crew 24/7. I know from my own experience, some of my loneliest moments have been in the company of others.
