Day #7 - The Power of People

Practice has never been so easy… with 80 people in the hall practicing with me.

It can be so hard and a chore to get on the mat alone in your living room and make a practice come to life.

To conjure up what to do, in what order and for how long.

Here it is so easy, for the sheer fact that you are not alone, that there are 80 different poses happening in the room at one time there is no shortage of inspiration and the practice hall is only open for a set time, so you don’t want to miss it.

This confirms why I created Yogabranches. I’m just revising my mission statement.

1. So you don’t have to practice alone

2. So your practice can be inspired

3. So you have a set time to practice

I question 'why doesn’t this happen at every studio around the world?'

Why are we not all getting together to practice, it will make it so much easier.

Then I am called to my current reality.

I do not have to work, make school lunches, clean, cook or do anything for that matter other than practice yoga, go to a yoga class, watch a yoga class and somewhere in between eat and sleep.

That is why it is not happening around the world because life is getting in the way of our practice.

I also have to remember that everyone in the practice hall has been doing Iyengar yoga for at least 8 years and many of us are teachers, so we know what to practice, which I think is one of the biggest challenges.

But I am not going to let these two factors of busy lives and not knowing what to do get in my way.

I am more inspired than ever to continue my mission to inspire people to practice together.

So until I get a revolution happening at least just practice with a few friends, that will be the start of the revolution.
