The perfect class doesn't count if it's on your calendar and not in your body. The practice that changes your week is the one small enough to happen on a Tuesday when you're tired.
The five-minute rule
Three poses. Five breaths each. That's it. Cat-cow to wake the spine, a low lunge to open the hips, and a seated twist before coffee. You're done before the kettle boils.
“You don't rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your habits.”
— James Clear
