Now is the time you need to practise!

Now - just when you might feel busier than ever - is the time you need to find time for a yoga session. As well as stressed, it’s easy to get over-tired, and then become more vulnerable to bugs and colds as our immune systems take a dip.

Class numbers take a dip too every year at this time. But once the festivities are over, there is a rush back with everyone full of good intentions in the new year.

Even if you can’t make it to a class, try and find time for 15 minutes or so of quiet relaxation during the day - a few rounds of breathing such as we practised this week. Followed by knee hugs and stretches and a few cats and downward dogs.

And before you know it you are doing yoga at home ……. Here’s a reminder of some of what we did this week, thinking of building up to an inversion such as legs up the wall, or shoulder stand.

1. PLAN IT

Now we are heading towards the autumn equinox on 21 September, nights are starting to draw in. It’s a time of change, as we move from the summer into autumn and we start to look ahead towards winter. We might start making plans for the year to come.

Edit post Kickstart your home practice!

Doing yoga at home in between classes will help you keep mobile for the rest of your life - but it’s often hard to know what to do, or get started. You have to first, establish a routine, by deciding what time of day, and how long. Say 10 minutes every morning, for example, or 20 minutes three times a week.
