6:15 am.

23 degrees below zero. A very loud car start, a whirring belt, a frigid breeze.

6:29 am.

Storycorps on NPR. I've missed it for nearly 6 months. Such a sweet story today!

6:31 am.

Late to yoga class due to the car's challenge to warm up.

6:33 am.

Arrive at yoga class. Only three other brave souls toughed the temp.

My yoga mat, which lives in my car, is frozen into a solid roll.

I attempt to quietly shake it out.

Take a seat. Brr.

6:33 am - 7:45 am.

A heavenly session of gentle yoga. Delicious stretching of the shoulders and hamstrings, which are tight from spinning and kickboxing. A solid balance in tree pose. Yum.

7:45 am.

A balmy 15 degree below zero. Car warms up with another whine.

Home for a quick shower and breakfast before the workday.

Brr! Stay warm, friends.
