World Yoga Practice Month

NEWS!!!! NEWS!!!!
We kicked off World Yoga Practice Month on January 1, 2008 with a challenge: practice yoga every day in January. A bunch of yogis and wanna-be yogis signed up, and something amazing happened: the group became more than just a bunch of people stepping onto their yoga mats every day. It became a supportive, inspirational community of yoga practitioners all over the world. We were having so much fun that we decided we didn’t want to give it up at the end of January, and continued with monthly themes. Then we did the big WoYo Month again in January 2009, and now it's time for the 2010 edition!

In the meantime, our community is still going strong. We love to talk about everything yoga-related -- and even lots of non-yoga-related stuff. Whether you are a yoga veteran or you don't know your asana from your elbow, we'd love to hear from you! Please share your thoughts and experiences in the discussion forums or on your own WoYo blog page. This site is all about the community and connection between us, so don't hesitate to ask questions, give advice and share ideas!!

From Ashtanga to Iyengar, newbies to longtime practitioners, everyone is welcome to join in the fun!

Namasté,

Yogamum

Countdown: 53 days

Sometimes it seems the best plan is no plan at all. I taught my 6am rise & shine class this morning, and had a general idea of what I wanted to present but ended up going off track and it worked out nicely. This class has grown to 3 people! Since it's so small I generally practice along with them for the most part, taking breaks to check their form and to help adjust or answer a question. So I get to wake up with them, it's very nice.

Today's trip preparation plan: make a couple… Continue

Countdown: 54 days

Two months from yesterday, 54 days from today, I will step onto my mat far from home, the first day in a monthlong teacher training at Ride the Breath Yoga in Durham, N.C., with Australian Ashtangi Matthew Sweeney.

My intention will be to post occasional updates as I enter my final preparations -- can I really do this?! -- and then try to do daily posts from Durham. I hope this will…

with a day off... & the start of a new month...

2 asana practices, yoga sutra reading, and a bit of pranayama... I think I can go back to work now.

If at first you don't succeed....

So its not currently WoYoPracMo, but the yoga studio I go to is having a 40 Days of Yoga challenge. The contention is that it takes 40 days to make something a habit. So, though I have been thus far unsuccessful at this type of thing, I'm going to try again. Can I do a class every day for 40 days? Stay tuned...

blogging slipped by the wayside... & themes in practice

I must say -- it was GREAT having the 'crew' here in January. I feel lonely doing my own YoPracMo.

This month I'm becoming aware that I'd like to find a different relationship with blogging & yoga.

Simply logging practices is less than satisfying (particularly when there are fewer of us than during the January WOYoPracMo & less dialogue). Though logging somewhere is a GREAT record of practices as well as being a space to PLAN my…

About me and my Yoga practice..

My first meeting with yoga was in America many years ago when I was there as an Au-pair. The year was 1998! Wow that is som time.. so I found yoga (or yoga found me) and troughout the years I have been practicing more or less regular.

The Yoga style that has always come back to me is Hatha Yoga. I really like it although I have tried many other styles as well and I'm still very curious of exploring. Isn't that what life's about?

At… Continue

March musings

Just finished an Ashtanga workshop with Gingi Lee. Three sessions: one basic, focusing on the bandhas, one that took us through the entire guided primary series and one that took us through the entire intermediate series (but with no pressure to do any of the postures since most of us couldn't). So having an active Intermediate series practice was not a prerequisite. His story was interesting. He described initially being consumed by the practice and admitting it was his goal to finish Advanced… Continue

Welcome Them!

Overcome neck problems and headache by strengthening your neck muscles. Simple and highly effective Yoga exercises for prevention and healing. If you have a manifest neck problem, consult your doctor or therapist before. Do these exercises gently in the beginning, do them 1-2 times per week. Increase the intensity gradually, but don't do them every day. Discuss about these and other Yoga practices and questions on Yoga therapy on my.yoga-vidya.org. Speaker/camera: Sukadev Bretz .

Interesting reading, I just don't get your way of counting down days ...? Or did the TT get postponed? Well, anyway good luck with all your tasks, it is probably good you have gotten a little extra time.
