Lots of wrist issues and one woman arrived with glass in her hand that she could not get out, so down dog and such felt like a bad idea.

Talked about becoming our own drugstore, or learning how to "take a hit" off ourselves.

A slow connection will affect video playback. Allowing the video to "load" before viewing can help smooth this out. Here are the steps:
- Press "Play" and allow the video to roll for a few moments.
- Then, press "Pause" and allow the video to "load" before hitting "Play" again.
- You will know the video is "loading" as the bar to the right of the play button darkens gray.
- This will also give you the option to scroll forward and back more easily.
