In “I wear loud pants” news: I took a full yoga class last week because I had a day off, and wow, what a challenge. I practice about 20 minutes day because that’s what fits, so when I go for an hour, it’s a whole new world that feels like home.

When life gets in the way of plans, yoga becomes even more precious to me. Whether I’m practicing on my own for five minutes or teaching a two hour workshop, it does what it promises — it teaches me to move and focus and then be still. #yoga #theyogapoet #yogaeveryday
