I'm regretting not getting up earlier this morning and doing my yoga first thing, because I've had a very long, very busy day, and I still have to squeeze in a short practice! I'm planning on 20 minutes of "Stress Relief Yoga for Beginners" right before bed -- I guess I can't think of a nicer way to...
