Ok, so I failed. I didn't practice 31 days in January. Only 30. I completely forgot to practice on January 30. Went out to diner with a friend, came home at midnight, Audrey's bottles needed to be washed and milk to be prepared, and by the time I was done, I was so exhausted.

Most of my practices have been short ones, sticking to my goal of 10 minutes of meditation and 10 minutes of asanas every day.

On Thursday night, I went to YM for the new class, YogaLab. We had no idea what to expect, but now we have a better idea of what we got ourselves into. One word to describe the class: OUCH!
