30 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 1



Adjustments

The first day of my yoga challenge felt like I was pulling the tarp off a rusty car that's been rotting in my backyard for years and trying to drive the thing to the grocery store. Except that you forgot where you hid the dang keys.

Likewise, I spent the first morning of my yoga challenge stealing donuts from a rockstar at a photoshoot I was attending for my work. Our talented photographer Tomas Muscionico thought the moment was worth capturing (see above). I don't think donut stealing goes along with the yoga ethic, but I still had 29.5 more days to improve my craft.

I was halfway through my workday when I realized that I had forgotten to pack my yoga clothes. Not to be deterred—the donut had to be accounted for—I solved the problem by simply yogi-ing in my work clothes. Granted, I was lucky enough to have been wearing black leggings and a black t-shirt under my dress. Questionable fashion saved the day!

At the end of my first yoga class, the car was out of the garage and rearing to go!
