After 12 days straight, we got a break from learning how to be yoga teachers. And we were SO done. One of my fellow students said she got her new Yoga Journal magazine and didn't even want to look at it.

I have to admit, doing 2 and a half hours of asana practice every day makes you want to keep doing asana every day. It's nice to have such a strong point of focus. I now know where every muscle in my body is because I feel them. It's as if I never had muscles at all before. We worked on backbends, which are my favorite, probably because they elevate the level of energy and I totally need that. I remember doing bow pose for something like 20 minutes when I was little. That memory is really good to have during the training.

Since we don't get Martin Luther King Day off, I will be dedicating tomorrow's practice to cultural understanding and world peace.
