Put a little pep in your step for Cinco de Mayo with some at-home yoga, to counterbalance the margaritas. When my students ask me about starting a home practice, my suggestion is to start with mastering the sun salutes without instruction. If you have these sequences ingrained in your memory - and they come from within vs. without, with someone always leading you through them - you'll notice how effortlessly they will flow for you. And, a home practice can help fine-tune your grasp of the basics, so you can get more out of class time and more bang for your yoga buck. More yoga, better yoga - it's a win-win. Let me show you how to salute the sun - check out Be an OMbody on the Athleta Chi. Namaste.Pictured: chaturanga dandasana, it's piece of cake if you just keep practicing!

ReplyDeleteNice dandasana...
I keep lifting my butt too high in it, which I can correct when practising near a mirror! I love the fine tuning of asanas though. So much to learn, it's going to last my whole life through!

did that for years...it really helps to see a photo of what you think is your best chaturanga...isn't it nice to have something in your life that you don't have to always try to "master", but rather allow to constantly evolve? Namaste.
