A home or personal practice is important to a yogi's or yogini's development in asana. In the June 2004 issue of Yoga Journal, renowned teacher Cyndi Lee wrote, "Developing a personal yoga practice allows us to devise a specific program to give ourselves what we really need at any given time. We can get on the mat whenever we can, for whatever length of time, in whatever amount of space is available to us. This practical approach is a first step toward integrating yoga into everyday life."
Many of us have taken classes, but when the time comes to practice at home alone, we can feel lost. We can even feel as though we wouldn't work as hard without a teacher present.
Therefore, we need to take advantage of technology available to us so we can cultivate a strong home practice:
1. Download free audio classes from the Grace yoga website. There are classes available for every fitness level. Today's technology offers no more excuses.
2. Bring a tape recorder to Arlene's classes. Use the recordings at home or during travel.
3. Purchase, rent or borrow yoga DVD's. There are tons of titles available.
Along with these tips, set a practice time as an appointment in your calendar so that it has to happen. You will be glad you did!
