6AM confessions and warrior poses

6AM confessions and warrior poses

Turns out there’s a big difference between agreeing to morning yoga when you’re feeling motivated at 9pm and actually rolling out a mat when your alarm goes off in the dark. Sarah took one look at me and said, ‘Should we just do coffee instead?’ But honestly, I needed the movement more than the caffeine.

We made it through about twenty minutes of poses before giving up on any pretense of proper form and just sitting cross-legged, talking through the things that kept us both up too late.

Next week we’re scheduling this for 7am. Baby steps.
