I did yoga on Sunday.
For fifteen minutes, before Ghost got up and we made pancakes (eggnog pancakes, I might add) for breakfast.
I did yoga again this morning, while Kitty was making breakfast and Ghost was getting dressed for work, for about ten minutes - maybe a little longer, but I wasn't really counting.
I've only done it twice, but it seems to be working.
I like doing yoga classes. An hour and a half worth of guided yoga practice (yin + hatha, typically) once a week or more is fantastic. But it's also expensive - both in terms of class costs and in terms of the 2-3 hours of my day that it eats, when travel and the locker room are taken into account. So I tend not to do it.
And, yeah, I can totally do an hour and a half (or an hour, anyway) of, say, yin yoga at home. There are free videos online, and everything. But it still eats a heap of my day and, let's face it, when it comes to what gets put off versus what doesn't, I will happily sit at a desk (or a computer, as the case may be) rather than leave the house, especially in winter.
But doing a tiny bit in the mornings, while I'm waiting for something else to happen (breakfast to cook, candles to set, coffee to perk, you name it)... that's feasable. And also, honestly, it's so little that I can kick myself in the ass with "Oh, come on! It's ten minutes! Do some downward dog and a supported plow!"
So that's where I'm at right now. Because doing something, even something tiny, is better than doing nothing at all. :-)
