i've been considering establishing a regular yoga practice recently and have given myself all the excuses in the world to not do it. i'm too tired at the end of the day. i'm too tired to get out of bed early. i have to work. i have to pick up the kids-feed them dinner-get them to bed. i tell myself i'm too busy.
but, i read an article today about how establishing a home practice is essentially creating a habit. you can read the full article here. i realized that i am busy. i work full time and i have 2 young children. however, i can choose to create space for yoga.
my goals with the 30 day challenge are to make time for myself, become more active and add some balance to my life both physically and mentally. and last, i hope to create a habit that leads me to continue to have a daily practice in some form or fashion.
pre-challenge: Beginner Ashtanga class - 30 minutes
i subscribe to yogaglo and have a plethora of yoga classes to choose from. last year, before i paused my practice, i became interested and enjoyed practicing the primary series. having not practiced yoga in any real way for nearly a year, i thought a full 90 minutes might kill me. i started with the primary series light. it was just what i need to kick start my interest and not too much to make me want to quit.
wish me luck!
