My favourite one
It is the best show for me. Love J approach and thank you and your wonderful guests for improving my life.
Harmful
Another disappointing yoga “person” disguising himself as “just asking questions” while promoting conspiracist anti vaccine propaganda in the middle of a pandemic. As a person who suffered serious health issues (heart attack and consequent surgeries) due to COVID I have no patience in accommodating this guy’s incoherent jumble of words.
A blithering idiot
Apparently well intentioned… mostly harmless?
