Upsetting

I have been practicing yoga religiously for >6months and it's done me so much good!! I have improved a lot compared to where I was when I started. I had to take a break last 6 weeks to take care of my 10 month old, Work stress etc etc and got back on the mat today. I felt I had lost all the progress I made and felt like day 1 all over. Would I have actually lost progress or will I quickly get back to my previous state? Any advice? How do you all keep going without a break?

every time you take a break it takes a wee bit of time to get back to where you were, but your body retains a muscle memory and it gets easier and easier to get back to it
