Practice

On the 4th Day of Practice, I really had to stretch.

Are you itching to practice but you…

  • Can’t find the time

  • Can’t find the space

  • Don’t have the props

  • Are out of routine

These are all valid obstacles, but let me show you a way to get around them all quickly so that you can restore some balance into your life.

Firstly (and this won’t be the last time I say it) …

Practice first thing in the morning. As soon as you get out of bed, go straight to practice.

But…

No Buts.

Today we are going to practice in the kitchen.

Place your hands on the kitchen bench and step your feet back to Ardha Uttanasana. Hold for 5 breaths.

Fill the kettle and turn it on.

Take your right leg up onto the kitchen bench and do Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana 1 then change sides. If the kitchen bench is too high, take the foot to rest lower.

Get your cup and choose your tea. Even if the kettle has boiled don’t pour the water.

First do Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana 2 on both sides.

Now pour the water and let your tea steep.

Do baddhanguliyasana with the arms.

Giggle the tea bag, remove the tea bag, do what you need to do.

Do gomukasana with the arms.

Do Urdhva baddhanguliyasana with the arms.

Now you may enjoy your cup of tea knowing your have done your yoga practice for the day.

“In whatever position one is in, or in whatever condition in life one is placed, one must find balance. Balance is the state of the present-the here and now”

BKS Iyengar pg 43 Light On Life.

It can be this simple to get into the routine of a daily practice.
