ISam, I'm struggling with it some it too, well, somedays are pretty good, and others not. I actually started out strong, but lately I've been having a problem sitting for the 20 minutes. Thanks for sharing that great quote.

I'm still finding it tricky to sit every day and only averaging 3 days a week so far, so it's being a frustrating experience for me. I was finding the 20 mins a real hurdle so shortened the time to 10mins and I'm still not sitting consistently. P...

For those of you who are doing Tricycle's 90 day Zen meditation challenge, how is it going for you? Are you still doing it? I've been writting about it a bit on my blog (www.gracefulyoga.blogspot.com), and so far it's been a good experience. Not a...

My foot falls alseep too. I find that kneeling (sitting on a yoga block) for longer periods of meditation to be helpful.

Last night my husband and I went to attend our first Zen meditation. It was a very informal group and very different from the Tibetan Buddhism center we visit. We keep talking that we liked the informal approach at the Zen center and the fact that...

Right now I'm at Pure yoga too--my teacher is Celeste Lau (who used to run On The Mat) sometimes I go to Adeline at True Yoga for a led class but my regular practice now is morning mysore at Pure.

Hi Ovidia-

Where do you practice in Singapore? I travel to Singapore a couple of times a year, last time I practiced at Pure Yoga. I would like to find an ashtanga studio, would be interested in hearing where you practice.
Thanks!

About Me:
I'm trying to learn more about yoga & yoga practice, more about myself (why I want & don't want to practice some days...) and I am enjoying the fact that I'm learning so much from it that I can apply to the rest of my life, like 'practice & all is coming', 'every practice is a good practice' and 'total commitment to effort, non-attachment to results'...

Days 5, 6, 7, Ouch Ouch Ouch

I thought I had 2 great practices on Saturday & Sunday, then...

Had a pit-stop deadline on Wednesday (submitting dog rough draft) so spent Monday more or less chained to the computer not even taking my usual stretch breaks. Did a 45 minute practice--Sun Salutations, Standing Sequence, Backbends, Closing... then back to the computer (I know, no shower, but I cooled down/dried off during savasana & meant to do a walk later)--then when I tried to stand up a couple of hours later fou… Continue

Day 4: Yes, Did Practice!

Went back to Absolute at Valley Point again for Vinyasa Flow & had a Great class! At the perfect point for me--easy enough to follow but challenging enough that I couldn't do 'everything'. Felt like it was all within my reach but not yet in my grasp.

I might not have rolled out of bed let alone the apartment for morning class if not for WoYoPracMo, so thanks people!

And yes, I will sit tonight. May try it with music, maybe even face mask!!

Jan 2 & 3

Almost fell off the WoYoPracJanuary wagon on the very second day... but last night put in 20 minutes on the mat (sun salutations, some standing, some seated... straight to closing without going through backbends) before shower & bed.

Slept well too, so my prejudice against evening practice might be misplaced!

So I'm still 'in' the challenge.

This morning had a GREAT vinyasa flow class at Absolute Yoga from a new teacher named Angela. It was simple yet challenging and I came out both exhau… Continue

Busy Day but--

I missed my regular dog walking session at SPCA today because I woke to yellow gunk going out of me... (yes, I know--too much info!)

But there was plenty to do anyway. Today is laundry exchange day, new curtains are being delivered & so is next week's supply of organic veggies.

(Plus I took yesterday off--New Year only comes once a year right? & really want to get back to writing)

But this morning I went out to Jurong (to get picture frames etc from IMM) & thought, why don't I do… Continue

January 1st & 1st practice

No classes today & I wasn't sure I would have the discipline for a self practice amid all the 'excitement' of setting up new directories (on computer--I'm ritualistic) so...

I did my first follow-along-with-tv's Namaste Yoga practice!

It comes through on Discovery Home & Health, I only got access to it over Christmas so I was aware of its existence but somehow didn't try it out till now. (Blocked by reasons like: "I'm doing a 'real' practice later", "I want my coffee first!")

But toda… Continue
