" I have so appreciated this start on daily home yoga practice"
Sandra
Home practice is typically shorter and easier than a class and a great complement to it. Start with just 10 minutes a day and get familiar.
Daily repetition is part of the method, encouraging you to develop awareness of your body and your breathing. Notice the small stuff. Notice your patterns. Step on your mat, come to your yoga, and find the simple, easy pleasure of it every day.
The home practice 30-day challenge consists of 4 step-by-step videos and supports to get you started, keep you going, and bring yoga into your life daily.
Start here, and if you enjoy it, subscribe to the home practice library where the whole course plus a wide range of other videos, including the Beginners yoga course can be found.
A month from now you'll be so glad you did.

Step 1
Choose a time and place and commit to getting to it daily
Daily helps build the habit, which will greatly increase your chances of keeping it up. Hoping you get to it each day isn't enough. Actually schedule it into your day. Before breakfast? Great! This is the time most likely to happen regularly. Practice before the day gets away from you. If it helps, lay out your mat the night before so you don't forget, get up 10 minutes earlier - it's worth it. Pick a regular time slot that will become a habit in your daily life. Choose realistically and wisely. If it isn't working, try a different time (before breakfast ;-).

Step 5
Made it to your mat every day for a week?
Then you might be ready to move on. If you are struggling to get to a daily practice, keep going with this first video until 10 minutes fits into your life as a regular habit. Or stay with this if you love it, keep it up! Making the practice longer or more complicated won't increase your chances of success.
This first practice will develop familiarity with getting to your mat, in bringing your movements and breathing together, and exploring options that can help you practice yoga in a more enjoyable and helpful way. You'll also have experienced some of the benefits of yoga.
If you find it too easy, pay more attention. There is a lot here to notice that you'll miss if you go harder, faster or stronger. Discover the connection of body and breath movements, slow down, drop the rushing and the overthinking - this is part of the cultivation of yoga.
Keep coming to your mat regularly, or come to a group class for additional motivation and guidance. Chat to your teacher if your finding anything tricky. And most of all, keep it regular and consistent.
Move to the next video in week 2 of the challenge when your ready which is available here >
If your pregnant, postnatal or need a more gentle approach, either stay with the alternative practices, or get in touch for a 1:1 session where we can set you a more tailored practice to suit your needs.
If your interested, perhaps explore other aspects of yoga philosophy or meditative practice.
Join the online library for more inspiration.
Most importantly, enjoy your practice and keep showing up.

About Clara

I started my home practice in the mid-90s and am always encouraging others to do it too. It is a brilliant way to practice yoga, complements and enhances your weekly class, and keeps the benefits growing. Yoga is a lifelong practice, a caring space to nurture your body and mind and help support you in life, no matter your starting point, age, mobility or experience. For those who know me, you'll know that every few weeks I send out a short video to support you in practicing at home. The heart of the practice is in simplicity, consistency, and discovering your own personal sanctuary that is always available to you, no matter where you are or what you are going through. I've been designing simple, effective home practices since 2008 with my students in 1:1 sessions. If you want a more tailored and effective home practice, please get in touch. More about Clara > |
