I deliver meals on wheels [locally] and I will be teaching yoga classes with a mask soon and I want to bring more than food to the community on my route and my students. Now these frightened residents and yoga students can receive nutrition for the physical health and a smile (under my mask… showing on the outside) … this is absolutely genius in my book. THANK YOU!” ~Jane V., RI
