Subway dancer. Haven't done a yoga pose on the go for a photo in forever... I remember when that was my normal - my hands were always dirty from handstanding in the weirdest places?

I took a yoga class today. Can't remember the last time I was in a class with less than a palm space between mats. Most people dislike cramped practice rooms but I love it so much. So, so much. There is something about people coming together, getting out of their comfort zones and uniting just to move and breathe. My favorite classes are the messy ones. It's simple, really. Today I got to stretch and move and sweat crammed in a tiny space full of strangers and I love it. Sometimes I shy away from studio classes because there is always someone wanting to talk, ask questions, take a selfie. Being "Yoga Girl" in the yoga world has both ups and downs. It's odd and normally it's all fine but I've been craving privacy and today no one said anything and I got to just blend in.
I'm still not sleeping and it's so hard but it's also making me acutely aware of... Well, everything. Being a mother forces me to be present, fully here, in every moment. Her mood and needs change so quickly I have no choice but to be fully immersed in her being. I can't be anywhere else in my mind but here, now, and I don't want to be. The few moments I'm not with her, I'm so enjoying space and time to myself that the most mundane things become absolutely glorious. A cup of coffee. Walking the dog. Taking a yoga class. Today I had the most amazing practice, not only because I loved the teacher or the room, which I did, but because I was fully there.
I guess what I'm trying to say is... It's not easy. I'm a full time mom and working full time and sleeping none of the time? I wonder if I'll ever feel rested again. If I'll ever wake up in the morning without my body aching from a night of not sleeping. I know I probably will. Until then, I'm here. Loving my baby and practicing my yoga. One day at a time☺️✌? #yogaeverydamnday #yogagirl #motherhood #practice
