Are you in a yoga rut? Do you feel like your tried and true routine is becoming too routine? Been there. Done, that. Below are 5 easy ways you can enhance your yoga practice when you need a little inspiration or new pep in your yoga step! 1. Take your mat outside.
With the weather finally warming up in central New York, a change of location is definitely what the doctor ordered. Gift yourself some vitamin D, a beautiful view and greet the sun on the horizon. Don't want to "muddy up" your mat? Warm up with a walk around your local park and try some standing poses. Warrior 1 or 2 anyone? On April 28th, I'm working with live, local, metal band Goner to teach a Metal Yoga class. Some yogis have asked me, why? My answer, Why the heck not? We are all unique. We all find joy in different things. We all have different quirks, talents, strengths and weaknesses.
Fear. Anxiety. Competition. Judgement. Am I even doing this right?! Ever have those thoughts when trying something new? How about in that new yoga class? Whomp Whomp.... :( I've been there. The new guy. Everyone else fits this perfect mold and here I am to f#%* it all up. BUT Wait! I thought we were all supposed to chant and share our heart center with all our class mates? I thought we weren't in competition with one another? But wait, watch me do this thing in headstand that YOU can't do... AHHHHH what? I can't keep up. Didn't we just want to do yoga? When I'm on my mat, it's me. Just me.
Pushing my edges. Growing. Getting stronger. Becoming a new version of ME. |
