On total exhaustion and the inner strength to move on

Each Yoga class lasts for an hour and fifteen minutes.  Yoga classes are offered three times a week. Depending on the lessons for that day and on the pace of the teacher, the students could be made to do twenty or more poses in each class.  On the weeks when the classes are devoted to standing poses, I sometimes wonder how I could survive the class with the number of poses we are made to do.

Once in a while, intensive classes are offered.  The last time I joined those intensive classes, I went to class everyday for five straight days.  Those classes lasted two hours per session. During those classes, I was made to do new poses.  That time was also hell week for me at work.   I would work until 5:30 p.m., attend Yoga class from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., go back to work after, work until 2:00 p.m., go home and be back at work by 9:00 a.m. the next day.
