“My health, times like this make you realize how fragile our health can be and how important it is to get enough sleep, rest, and good nutrition. Spending time at home with family & my dog – It’s nice to have quality unscheduled time to catch up over morning coffees, walks & dinner. Technology it would be hard to go for weeks without my favorite workouts, but luckily some of my favorites like Fhitting Room On Demand and Barry’s have gone online and it’s given me a chance to expand my horizons and do more yoga with Corepower and Y7. It’s also been gratifying to be able to contribute to a positive impact in people’s lives by providing wellbeing resources through HK@Home, and I’m excited that my grocery order from our partner Thrive Market finally arrived!” – Erika Zauner, Founder
