Monday, August 19, 2019, Starting the week off right, on my mat. A bit late to the mat (it's 5:58AM as I type this), so I'm getting right to it. Time to sweat it out. Monday, August 19, 2019 (Part II), It's 7:08AM as I type this and I'm on my mat, having just come out of Savasana. Again, no time for a robust post-practice post, but I'm proud that I started my week out on my mat. Time to enter the world. Namaste

Friday, August 16, 2019 Woke up at the usual 4:30AM this morning. On my mat now, and ready to being. Friday, August 16, 2019 (Part II) It's 6:57AM as I type this post-practice post. Again, no time to really elaborate on how the practice went (which, I suppose, is the whole point of this blog).  Do I get up earlier in the morning to allow more time to practice and post afterwards....4:30AM seems early enough.  I'm going to take what I have from my practice and bring it out into the world.  Namaste

Wednesday, August 14, 2019, Woke at my usual 4:30AM.  It's 5:40AM as I type this, and I'm going to begin immediately. Time to sweat it out. Wednesday, August 14, 2019 (Part II) Great practice. No time to post-practice post. Namaste

Monday, August 12, 2019, Woke at my usual 4:30AM.  Going to try to replicate last week's disciplined approach to yoga. A bit late to my mat so I'm going to begin meditation, prayer, and breathing exercises immediately. Time to sweat it out. Monday, August 12, 2019 (Part II), Delighted to have started my week off on the right foot.  My mat is drenched, I am drenched, and I'm feeling balanced and motivated to enter the world. Not enough time for a proper post-practice update, but suffice to say, all is well and the 1.5 hours I spent on my mat is well worth it. Namaste

Friday, August 9, 2019, Woke at my usual 4:30AM this morning. My alarm didn't go off yesterday for some reason (I later found out I'd silenced my phone to mute before going to bed).  No yoga yesterday! I'm on my mat, getting ready for another marvelous practice. Time to sweat it out. Friday, August 9, 2019 (Part II), 7:02AM and I've just come out of Savasana. The practice was marvelous and I executed the deepest backbends I've done for a while. Time to shower up and enter the day. Namaste

Wednesday, August 7, 2019 Woke at my normal yoga time 4:30AM.  This will be my third practice this week. For whatever reason, it's still difficult to get up at that time; when I hear my alarm go off, I walk across the room to my robe (where my phone/alarm is), and I have a fleeting moment where I'm being pulled back into the bed so strongly. I literally force myself to put on my robe, and walk out of the room where my precious precious coffee awaits in the kitchen. lol Time to sweat it out. Wednesday, August 7, 2019 (Part II) Great practice.  7:02AM. No time to post much content afterwards. Namaste

Tuesday, August 6, 2019, Woke at my usual 4:30AM again this morning ready to hit my mat. For some reason, I wake and I'm almost instantly pushed back into my bed; I don't know why.  I don't have the urge or the yearning to hit my mat anymore. I remember this happening right at the beginning of this blog (two years ago), and I had to muscle through it. I'm not going to bug about it, and I'm going to continue to push myself back onto my mat until it becomes a habit again. Time to sweat it out. Tuesday, August 6, 2019 (Part II), I'm writing this on my mat having just come out of Savasana. I took not today that, from start to finish my practice lasts for about 1.25 hours.  Don't know why I realized that this morning, but it just came to mind.  I began at 5:30AM and, as I type this, it's 6:54AM.  Time to shower and enter the day.  The practice was marvelous. Namaste

Monday, August 5, 2019, Back home, and back to a normal life after two weeks of back to back traveling. I woke at my usual 4:30AM for coffee and contemplation, and I'm on my mat at my usual 5:30AM to begin my practice with prayer and meditation. Time to sweat it out. Monday, August 5, 2019 (Part II), I'm on my mat having just come out of Savasana.  I've said it many times in this blog but I really do need to factor in more post-yoga blog time. I had a marvelous practice, and am feeling renewed and stabilized.  Time to shower up and enter the day. Namaste
