4/5 weeks this month. Not bad.
How to practice yoga once a week
It made me
Happy!!! 
"Going easy on myself and reading Happy Yoga has helped me accomplish this goal; I don't have series I do, but select poses according to my mood."
How I did it: I started reading Happy Yoga, and followed a lot of tips in there. I used to think that you had to do certain poses after each other and actually stopped doing yoga because it was so serious. But now I do yoga at home while listening to music. I always end up smiling within 5 minutes. The only "routine" I have is starting with 5 "sun greetings" A and B. Then I move to poses that suits my mood that day. Some days I just do one pose for a really long time. And on other days I end with a dance party instead. My mood and physique has improved a lot since I have brought yoga into my life!

I have been doing this on Saturday for 2 weeks so far. I look forward to it so much! It makes me feel so peaceful and centered. I want to keep it up for awhile. Don’t really know how long.

So this week I've started doing "yoga"

during my lunch break. I think one of my big problems previously was making too big of a deal out of yoga. Now I just spend 15 minutes stretching and throwing in some traditional yoga poses in a park near my job before walking 25/35 minutes and then returning to the office. I’ve been feeling so much better when I return to work…
... now if I could just keep it up!

Not doing so well with this goal...

I’m thinking I’m going to make Sunday my designated yoga day. Hopefully that will help me stick to practicing once a week.

I took a yoga class yesterday after work and really felt great afterwards! I’m working to keep my goals realistic by only working to go once a week. That way, if I find that I really enjoy it, I can up it to twice weekly!
Progress - Finally!

Wednesday night seems to be a good yoga night for me. It has been for the past three Wednesdays. I have started out with just some sun greetings. 5 of sun greeting A, and each week I add a sun greeting B. I am up to two Bs.
I like pacing myself, and I like just doing it at home. It’s free and quiet. I do wonder if I will remember how to get into the pose that comes after 5 sun greeting Bs…
Perhaps I should buy this
Went to class last week

For the first time in two months. My original instructor left, which made me surprisingly sad! – but this one is okay, if less rigorous.

Didn’t happen this week. I was so drained from the ELI training that just moving and small amounts of thinking were a stretch.

This hasn’t happened lately. Jerry brought the boys over on Saturday morning, so I didn’t have time that day and on Sunday, what I thought was allergies turned out to be a dilly of a cold. Dizziness has been one of the fun symptoms. Probably not conducive to yoga.
