Christmas Break Yoga!!!!!

Friday, December 27, 2019, Today is another marvelous day off from routine and my standard daily duties. I woke at the unbelievably late hour of 8:53AM this morning; that's more than 4 hours past my usual wake time of 4:25AM. Zero guilt.  Zero remorse and feeling marvelous as I allow myself to have a very natural flow to my mornings enjoying this break.

Today I intend to move through my practice as normal and be aware of my mind and body. Time to sweat it out.
