Over the past few years my practice has transformed in many ways. I have a daily practice that I am committed to everyday with movement, pranayama, mantra, and meditation. It's only 10 minutes so I can fit it in everyday.

More recently I have been practicing Muay Thai and bringing aspects of mindfulness and breath into the practices - allowing myself grace and compassion for the things I'm learning. Because I'm doing high intensity training, I'm utilizing some of the less intense practices on the platform to balance it all out. I appreciate the slow and stretchy movements and would love to have more! I'm committed to slowing down a few times a week.

Hi everyone! I'm excited about connecting with others in this program and sharing how we all progress. Today is my day one. I have a 20 minute practice that I do everyday from my yoga mentor that includes asana, pranayama, and mantra. I did that today - sometimes I don't have enough time to do it all in the morning so I do partial or do it later in the day after work... but all throughout the day I find myself chanting mantras in my head and doing pranayama at work and no one knows lol.

I have more time off today, so I did many self-care rituals, including full body abhyanga (oiling), drinking tea, exercise, and journaling. Planning on doing some meditations later.

If anyone is in NYC and wants to meet up and talk yoga things, please reach out! 

Sending love!

Can you recommend some classes that are light on the wrists, or classes with more standing postures? Thank you!

I've been practicing now since 2016. This year for the first time I have begun to have left wrist pain, and possible early stage carpal tunnel, unknown cause. I have so many plans for rehab, step by step. I am quite worried about my wrist, but I know it doesn't mean I cannot practice yoga since there are so many ways in which we can practice. Here's to working towards the struggles of everything in life =)
