practice yoga 7 times in 7 days

I have a new goal now of doing 45-60 minutes of cardio work each week.

I think one of the reasons I’ve had trouble lately maintaining my practice is because I get in the rut of following the same tape or CD. This week my best practices were ones where I had no cd or tape with me. This morning, I’ve no time to practice, as I’ve just used up my practice time assessing how to improve the quality of my practices.
Just a down dog or two before I scoot.

Well, late adding this, but I did do it once a day in 7 days, with a variety. I like the half-handstand, because its good for strengthening your back and arms. And sun salutations are a good all-rounder. It’s good doing yoga when you have aches and pains, and actually doing it everyday (before you feel the aches and pains) is better, because it strengthens your muscles, like the lower back so you don’t get as much pain.

Shortly after the last time I left an entry here, I pushed too hard with something beyond my abilities, and hurt myself. So I was off yoga for awhile and am now starting again, again.

Day one, morning practice done. Intend to do an evening practice.

okay i feel really bad giving this up, but i’m not going tobe achieving it any time in the near future. i normally do the sun salutations in the morning and i go to two yoga classes most weeks, but i do not think that the sun salutations are enough yoga to call that a proper practice. i do not have books, and i am a skint student who cannot afford books or a dvd, so i do not know enough poses to achieve this, it may sound like im just giving it up, im not, im just not achieving it. this is confusing. my head is sore (maybe some yoga would help that!) and i need sleep. apologies. and good luck all the rest of ya!

I’ll admit it, I’ve become obsessed with another project. I am working on it 24/7, I dream about it and start working at it first thing in the morning. I steal time away from my real job…shhh. I am putting yoga to the side for just a big longer.

I’m actually trying to do yoga twice a day if possible. But mostly trying to get back to the daily habit asap.

I came here, tail tucked between my legs, ready to start again, and was immediately confronted by my former self, crowing over having completed my first 7 in 7 in ages. “Featured Entry.” Ha!
The universe is conspiring again…

okay I ruined that one, didn’t do that after the first day….I will start properly tomorrow…for definite!

Day 1 – 15 minutes, various poses
I’ve seen a few posts out here about doing shorter sessions, and somehow that made this goal seem more attainable (thanks team!) I am doing a 7 day diet of raw foods only and I wanted to combine this with some other activities to relax the body (not just the digestion)...so yoga is the best choice since I already love it. This morning I just eased into some breathing and poses and spent about 15 minutes reconnecting to my love of this simple activity. Have a great week everyone!
