When I have started Yoga, 17 years ago, I would practise daily, all of it. I have lost it, felt happy when I had it.
How can I return? just by will?
Yoga is very much like running. There are days when your body tells you you do not have time for a run, but you go nevertheless, and if you do not exagerate you feel better in the end.
So, either choose another distraction than Yoga or press the “re-start” button on the backside of your head.
Thanks Shantisinger. After 17 years of practice - this sometimes work and sometimes it doesn’t.
Unless I find the root reason for the inability to retain the Prana and Love, faith, trust and commitment to my practice - discipline will be blocked.
It is like life, not just running.
To sustain practice over 17 years and still continue is an excelent and powerful thing in itself, and shows love and commitment. I think I need to find up the conflict between my body and mySelf - and it is very difficult.
I think it has to do with order and grounding in this phisical world.
Om Shanti
I go to class because that’s the only way to do a complete routine. I’d love to practise at home but without DVD I just don’t remember all the poses. It gets boring watching the same one though. I always wonder for those people practicing at home, do you always use video or remember the poses?
I do know that after doing at least some yoga poses at home, it already makes me feel better. I like going to Maha Yoga because I love the music and it is fun. I think I can get good music I like for my yoga practice at home but I just can’t remember the routine.
I think I can do it everyday at home if it is just as fun and get me as good a workout as in the studio. Just don’t know what it takes.
I never use DVD or Audio or Video, I use the wisdom of my inner body.
17 years ago I went every day to classes, then did a teacher’s training. Then you remember.
After remembering, graduslly your body becomes your best teacher, with some enhancement from classes with chosen teachers.
I suggest that you try once without DVD and investigate on your own…let your body - not your mind - run the experience.
Good luck
