Day Six:

Although my body may not agree with me today, I am blessed to be in a position where I can devote this focused time on my yoga.

But I'm not interested in talking about my yoga today. My thoughts are on the numerous beautiful, strong women in my life whose daily yoga comes in a different form--motherhood. Their daily practice revolves around taking most of the strength, flexibility, and fortitude they have inside and using that to take another being (or multiple beings) through the day (and often late night). And they do it every single day (for more than 40 days in a row). More than anyone, these women deserve an hour a day in a quiet yoga studio--but most of my friends don't have a posse of nannies to take over the unceasing responsibilities of raising young children. I will hold down the fort until they do have the time...smile!

So, my hope is that each of the mothers whom I love so dearly can be blessed with a few extra minutes in the shower or over their morning coffee to be quiet and still.
