Practice Yoga regularly, with the wonderful, worldwide alumni of 30-in-30
A long-overdue first entry for this goal 2 years ago

Hi everyone! I think/hope a lot of you remember me from the original goal, but for those who don’t, hi! My name’s Leeann and I’m a university student in Michigan. I’ve been doing yoga on and off for about 4 or 5 years now and I completed my 30-in-30 just over a month ago.

Since finishing the goal I fear I haven’t been too consistent with my practice. A combination of laziness, tons of homework, and…more laziness, I guess, has been standing in my way. Also when I was working on 30-in-30 I had a team to check in with every day, which helped keep me motivated. Now I’ve got to learn to motivate myself that way.

Yesterday, though, I went to a class at a really nice local studio with an old yogini friend of mine and I think her energy and excitement about yoga helped revive my love of it. Our class was wonderful and today I had a nice session on my own at home.

Here’s to some more consistency in the future, then, and my new related goal: read (or, more accurately, do) the book Happy Yoga (it’s a really great book given to me by the aforementioned friend and it focuses mainly on the spiritual/”inner” aspects of yoga. I really like what I’ve read of it but I need to start applying it!).

Chris Campbell is getting things done.

Thanks for the Energy

How could we forget you!
The motivation of the 30-in-30 team was great and it’s strange how achieving the goal resulted in a bit of a slump afterwards for a few members of that team.
As this team grows I think that the motivation and pressure to keep going will all come together as we help each other.
Maybe the focus now should be not on a quantity of yoga, but a quality as we know that we can practice at least for a month once a day continuously, so now maybe it’s a chance to look inward and have a more holistic practice.
Your entry gives me a bit more motivation and energy to dive back into my own practice. Thanks!

Good to see you back Leeann!

I’ve been slacking on entries lately as well. I am still practicing morning and evening but as I do the virtually the same practice each day I have little to report.

I think Chris is right about focusing on the quality now. I want to join a class too so that I can get some proper guidance. I like doing the dvds but I think I want the experience of practicing with others too (that’s why I loved being part of the 30 in 30 team).

Enjoy working through your book – I look forward to hearing how you are getting on!
