Class schedules are often limited over the holidays. Don’t let fewer classes keep you from practicing!
Here are some tips to keep your practice vibrant over the holidays:
- Do your practice first thing in the morning. If you leave it until later in the day it is easier to keep pushing it off and not do it.
- No space, no problem! Find a quiet place to sit and enjoy gentle breath exercises, or silent repetition of affirmations (see affirmation chart below).
- Enjoy a short daily yoga practice to keep the muscles and joints healthy. A 5 minute practice is better than no practice at all! Do any poses you love, search for yoga videos on youtube, or use a preplanned class (practice pdf below).
