A Little Yoga is OK

The Ordinary Yogi, A Little Yoga is OK

Yay me! I may actually be doing this blog thing. I’m writing this at a Starbucks, my youngest son is across the street at the high school for his Youth Orchestra rehearsal, so I’m writing this while I wait for him. So anyway, let’s get to the yoga.

Many of us really enjoy our yoga class, that’s why we show up every week, but how can we bring a little of that yoga home with us? I’ve heard and probably used all the excuses out there. There’s no time, no space, I don’t know what to do, etc. All valid reasons, but all easily overcome when we just accept what we can do.

You may not know it, but I just took a five minute break to check Facebook. Maybe you use social media, or follow blogs (like mine) or like to check out your favorite online shopping places. All these things are fun and just take a few minutes.  Wait, yoga is fun and we could spare just a few minutes! I bet reading that sentence found you nodding your head a bit and saying I could do a little yoga right now.  If so, watch this video and do a tiny bit of yoga right now. It’s less than three minutes.

Don’t you feel better? I do. You can do your little yoga anywhere. Right there in the Starbucks, at your desk (maybe use some headphones), at your kitchen table, in the car waiting to pick up your kids, sitting on the couch as you fire up the TV.  Let it start small, it will grow.

I’ll share more videos and ideas to grow your yoga practice in my next blog update. I’ve been feeling springy, thus the blossoming trees pictures, and I've been feeling crafty, so enjoy this card I made to celebrate the little things. Then take a nice deep breath (inhale and exhale, no really take a nice deep breath and say in your head "inhale, exhale"while you do it) and back to your life you go. I’m Audra and I’m an ordinary yogi.
