A former yoga student of mine asked me if I still manage my daily meditation/yoga practice (I have not taught yoga classes for a few years now).
BD (before daughter), I was reasonably consistent in getting up at 5:30am (absolutely NOT my natural body clock) for a 1 hour practice of yoga, meditation and asana (postures). I found this helped with focus, connection and clarity.
AD (after daughter), while I still (mostly) get up at this time 6 days a week – I am doing a multidtude of things other than yoga. Having said that, I do manage a ‘daily practice’ albeit with some novel approaches, with the ADDITION of the feelings of surrender, spontaneity and even more joy.
This week, I will share how looking at things a little more laterally, being adaptable about the WAY in which an outcome is achieved, has led to greater depth and enrichment rather than feeling time and spiritually poor.
I call it my “drive through” practice – which in essence is about being in the moment and letting go.
