Just Getting To Yoga Class...

... is becoming impossible lately.

Even though full time in Canada is technically 35 hours (according to immigration paperwork I have filled out for people on the team) and we require people only put 37.5 hours in their time sheets... I still find myself getting roped into something at the end of each day that does one of the following:

• Prevents me from getting to class
• Exhaust me mentally, making going home and sleeping the only thing I have energy for.

I was hoping things would settle down in the past few weeks. There is still hope. But getting to a Bikram class to practice at the end of the day is rarely possible. My average is once a week lately.

And that is sad. Especially because I am a teacher.

So, last night I made the decision that I would take a cab all the way downtown - near my work - and practice in the 6:30am class at the studio I don't teach at.

Normally, I prefer to stick to my own studio, because I like putting in practice "face time" with the students. But we don't have the early morning classes, so it is harder to get in a practice there.

I discovered that I am more likely to come all the way downtown and practice first thing in the morning, rather than trying to do it at the end of the day. Insane, I know. But my spine is desperate.

And don't even get me started on my inner peace.
