I am happy that I have started blogging again about yoga. I have been doing yoga off and on, for more than a few couple of years now. But then, venturing seriously into Yoga, takes time and ofcourse a lot and lot of practice.
I started practicing Yoga this week from Monday, 26th July 2010. I did yoga every morning for 1 hour till today. I plan to rest only on Sundays. Rest is absolutely essential, thinking of long term.
My schedule for each practice is to do
1. Start with meditation
2. Pranayam
3. Warming up with a few standing asanas
4. 12 surya namaskaras,
5. Asanas(I ensure I do most asanas from the primary or secondary series)
6. then cooling down with asanas like sarwangaasana and shavasana.
I was successful doing it this week. Well, the challenge is to continue this for long without enhausting or injuring yourself.
And moreover, it helps when you blog immediately after each yoga practice and thats also one of the ways to keep yourself motivated.
Oh, I love to be the first.
ReplyDeleteI am very curious and of course I have to check your blog. You have found a wonderful beginning. Much fun.
My experience: When you write daily your readers will soon become more.....

Dear Divya!
ReplyDeleteI've just found your blog. I'm glad to see that you start again your practise. I'm planning to take up daily practise after my holidays,too. I've been doing yoga more or less for 4 years but till now i've been too lazy to do it regularly. What time do you get up?
Hi Dora,
ReplyDeleteDoing yoga is just a habit. Initially it is difficult -- to get on to your mat or to do yoga for 30 continuous minutes, but once you persevere it comes easy.
I usually get up late these days but whatever time I wake up I ensure I do an hours practice. I am planning to wake up by 6am from Monday onwards...An important thing to do for me.
Regards,
D.
