I have finally (on this last day!) extended my home practice. I didn't use a DVD or book, just what I could remember and what my body felt like doing. For a home practice it was awesome. I still get so much more out the studio classes.

My February intention is as follows: Min. of 10 min daily practice - I see this as a first thing out of bed thing. Then I would like to make a promise to go to 3 yoga classes a week and 1 meditation class a week - I bought the unlimited pass, so why not? With my… Continue

I guess I have been having a hard time "letting go" in my practice. I have Obama on the mind. I'm in too many volunteer groups but have really enjoyed what "down time" I can give myself to honor doing some yoga. I'm still working on my Feb goals. I guess it is better to think of it as monthly - though I had thought of doing 31 days from starting on 1/14. But I guess I need to adjust. We had a warm day up here - the highest I saw today was 45 - but maybe it was warmer? It is supposed to fall back… Continue

So, ladies holiday??? Does everyone suspend practice for this monthly event?

But DH is off today for an international trip and we are having "family… Continue

I had too much going on yesterday and was only able to squeeze out a 30 minute practice at home. I was so not into it. It was a forced practice and I think only gave me more guilt about not getting a better practice in. I need to spend some time setting up a better space for a practice and I realized yesterday that I would prefer to have music for my home practice, but don't do that. So, I guess finding some music too. I did spend a little bit of time before going to bed to practice a couple pos… Continue
