Up at 6 am, on mat at 6:03. Sun salutations step-backs until the fourth one. Primary to Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, when stiff hips full of sadness would have no more. I recovered enough for three bridges, had breakfast and went to work until 4:15.
Home, packed, anti-art materials for tomorrow, off to school to photocopy essential handouts for tomorrow, taught a Primary to a big, energetic class of nine.
To wake up at 5:30 and feel rested, I should have been asleep fourteen minutes ago.

The first three or four days are the worst. Once you fall into the routine, it will be easier. And try to catch up on sleep on the weekends.
thanks v, it matters that you're reading the transition!
I went through a similar one: from one year of not working other than teaching yoga, in Cambridge and in Mysore, I went straight into living in London and practicing before a demanding job. It's tough, but once it becomes routine it gets so much easier, and you feel really good about it because doing some yoga in the morning really helps you with the rest of your day.
I'm with V on this. And the morning backbends get better, too.
