When I saw this video, I thought my every day, no excuses routine would be the home trainer. Then this morning I woke up, smiled, and thought to myself: "of course it's not. It's yoga". I will post on my main blog (linked up top) why it's yoga. I looked up a yin yoga morning routine, rolled out my mat. 20 minutes later...
