Although I’ve been off work since last Thursday (though you’d never know it by the number of calls/emails I’ve been getting, sigh), Xander and I only arrived in Winnipeg last night – which means today was my first “yoga while travelling” morning.

I purchased a travel yoga mat in a lovely lavender, and then realized that this bag (which my mom made out of flannel) would be the perfect place to store it. I threw in my yoga strap but left my block at home, thinking I can always find “something” to substitute. (I’m thinking Xander’s “The Hunger Games” books are about the right size.) My yoga playlist(s) already live on my iPhone so they were right at hand. (I could even add a few more playlists from Yoga Journal if I’m needing some new inspiration.)

A few Sun Salutations later, and I’m feeling much more centred (or I was until the phone rang, grr). I’m looking forward to trying this out at the hotel on the weekend (because I’m also in the ‘Peg for a conference) and doing a few poses with the nieces next week!
