Yoga, tiredness, and refreshing your practise

​My dog was poorly last night and I'm soooo tired today.

Every 2 hours I had to get off the sofa bed downstairs and head into the garden to accompany my sorry looking pooch. No-one had fun.

But my yoga practise this morning wasn't up for negotiation. I still stepped gently on to my mat. It was less demanding physically, responsive to what I encountered as I moved, fully present to the experience of a very different feeling body and mind. And it was completely refreshing and reviving, freeing up the achey-sofa-bed-back, and setting me up for the day. 

Refresh your attitude
Taking yoga when you are injured, tired, or with a different frame of mind can give you a wonderfully new experience from the usual. It reminds you how powerful and accommodating yoga can be, even in less than ideal circumstances.

Once you have a few tools under your belt to get the most from your yoga, it is the most valuable thing I think I have ever learned and it serves me in all of life's situations.

Deep dive into re-setting your yoga 
 From time to time re-align yourself with how valuable your yoga can be. Join in a workshop or get a 121 session for a more exploratory session so that you can explore ways to get more out of each visit to your mat. 

It is easy to drift and fall into all sorts of habits, and to 'go through the motions' when we show up to yoga. Let's spend time resetting and refining and learning to anchor our time spent in yoga more fully. 

Join me for my upcoming Sunday afternoon workshop to get into the details of some key Autumn postures and breathwork that will establish us with a more stable, solid foundation and understanding and refresh our regular yoga practise.
