present moment

I know…but, hey, it is called the present moment!

If your mind is sucking you in like a vacuum cleaner you can try sitting quietly and just breathing for a few moments, or if you would rather be doing something else, can you just get up and do it?

Part of practice involves discipline so maybe if you really need that cookie to distract yourself, stop at one?

yoga and you

Whatever ‘style’ of Yoga you yoga and youpractice, keep a sense of humor and always listen to your own body…This great quote will keep you focused: “Standardized or forced practices may not help in the study of yoga, and may in fact cause disturbance. The key to right teaching is in the adaptation of yoga to the individual, not the individual to yoga…the whole spectrum of yoga practice must be carefully adapted to the individual’s situation.  Nothing can be forced.” ~ T.K.V. Desikachar , The Heart of Yoga
