Newness in Practice

Hi Everyone, I posted the last time about my practice around backbends and feeling inspired. Something that continues to inspire me is the many ways I can practice yoga in my life. Somedays I do not have the energy for a full asana practice especially when my teaching schedule is as full as it is now. So the other ways I practice, breathing and meditation--this has been such an eye opener for me. It rounds out my day and I do not feel the pressure to do a "practice". I was definitely programmed for many years about practice being only asana. It frankly fueled my judgement issues for myself. Over coming judgement in my life is a very large issue to me and something that I bring mindfulness (also a yoga practice!) to daily. So offering new things to practice and seeing another area of my yogic life expand is wonderful. I wholeheartedly suggest to those out there, try something new to expand your practice. Namaste' Denise
