Last June, I did a 200-hr teacher certification program. It was intense and uplifting. For a time I thought I might teach afterward, but I think that is giving me a mental block on practicing now. There is a voice in my head saying “this is what a teacher’s practice should look like” and it’s 3 hours a day, and quite unrealistic for me. What I likely need is to shake the teacher stance and the self-judgment, and step into some self-forgiveness on my mat. Just let the practice flow, and stop hearing my teachers telling me what my practice should be. Take time to observe what is happening in my body, and give myself what I need. Simplify and drop my expectations. Make room for imperfection. 1 day ago
I just downloaded a yoga program onto my phone. Hopefully this will help me keep up with this goal. 1 week ago
The weather was nice today, so I went outside to practice yoga. I loved it. As long as the weather permits I think I will continue to do my yoga outside. 1 week ago
i have done it yesterday and today!
lately i’ve been feeling like my bones are starting to rust, and my muscles very stiff. i decided to look up some yoga lessons, and found a 30 minute ‘power yoga’ video! after that, my back felt so warm and flexible, that i know i will have to continue this!
i WILL…dammit x___x EVERY day! it’s a must. 2 weeks ago
I practiced yoga for 30min today. It feels so good and I enjoy it I don’t know why I have such a hard time getting myself to practice more. I noticed that it has been two weeks since my first practice. I really need to step it up and start practicing on a regular basis. 2 weeks ago
whoops, I still haven’t started this one :(
guess i better get on it. 3 weeks ago
Is that I have a hard time sticking with things. I did yoga once and haven’t done it again, eventhough I enjoyed it. I have done yoga in the past but can never get myself to stick with it (or any type of exercise for that matter). I need to start up again and find a way to stick with it this time. 3 weeks ago
Today wad my first day of doing yoga in a long time. I just did 15 min. Of yoga and 5 min. Of meditation, because I haven’t done much in the way of any exercise lately. It felt really good and I am hoping to keep this up. Eventually I would like to get up to at least 30 min. 3 days a week. 4 weeks ago
Sometimes I’m not in the mood to do a disciplined, focused, precise series of poses. Today, I just moved and stretched however it felt best, in my living room with the windows open. Like a slow, writhing sort of dance. 4 weeks ago
