Yes, I am one of those people who sees the word "break" and immediately thinks: just how much can I squeeze in? And I'm working on it. Despite constantly reminding my yoga students that the end of the year is a time to slow down, take a step back and reflect the before the new year - like that brief but oh-so-rich pause between inhale and exhale - with my precious time off between quarters in grad school I wanted to fit in everything I possibly could before I lost all those extra hours in the week again.
