One entry I wrote as a failure turned out to be the most important sentence in the notebook.

Some mornings I get into child's pose and stay there for the entire practice. That's when I know I'm really practicing.

Half hour slow practice for myself & 3 videos scheduled for the next three Mondays.

Once more babysitting senior engineers at my "9 to 5" is draining me. They take absolutely no pride in their work & they assume I will work 16h/day to cover their asses.
Luckily my side gig of teaching yoga fills my cup and gives me more fulfilling in an hour than a week of paying bills work.
Go enjoy today's short practice jamming sun salutations: https://youtu.be/-TlgW4FebN4
