Do you remember the lovely shirt I won on Flying Yogini's site? The handmade Mishogawear, so beautiful!!! WELLLLL....I believe a few days later I found out I won a lovely shirt on YisforYogini's site. I never win, and then win two things right in the same week! Now that is just CRAZY talk! I am soooo excited to have the privilege to sport two beautiful yoga shirts. The shirt I won on YisForYogini is from Elements of Yoga, and has a gorgeous Lotus on the front.
So I promised Lo I would get in a yoga pose to show it off. AND well decided the Salamba Sirasana was so appropriate with my crazy upside-down life these days. I am still doing the headstand against the wall, especially because I am still building up my core strength. I love doing the headstand, I make sure to enjoy it for 25 breaths or more.
Now I have a question for all my yogi friends. This week will be the fourth week I have had to work 8-4 schedule. It is a temp job, and it has been so fun. I am just not used to the busy schedule, because then I come home and blog/write/cook/take photos/edit photos etc... So time for yoga....well it just hasn't happened. But on Friday I did 60 minutes of a Vinyasa yoga, and 15 minutes of meditation, AND felt amazing. I believe it kick started me to get back on track, even if I only do two days this week, I know I will feel great. For the yogis who have kids, full-time job, and crazy life, how do you make sure yoga is included in your daily routine?
I have been walking still everyday, which has continued to make me feel wonderful. But not the same as a lovely 60 minutes of yoga. I am hoping to finally enjoy hot yoga for the first time this week, cross your fingers I can. I am catering my very first event this weekend, a Kentucky Derby themed party. My week will be filled with Mint Juleps, Derby Pie, Bubble and Squeak Sandwiches, and other lovely appetizers.
Once my schedule is more normal, and I am done with this catering event, I will make sure to share more blogs with you. I hope your week is truly beautiful!
Namaste

Beautiful post, Terra! I know how hard it can be to fit practice in to your schedule!
ReplyDeleteHey Terra! Fact: I don't practice asana every day, but I have a morning ritual: I set my alarm 20 minutes earlier, sit 10 minutes in meditation (still or moving, feeling the pulse :)), then do a couple of kriyas (kapalbhati, agni sara, nauli - gentle!), and a couple of gentle sun salutes, I'm so stiff in the morning!
ReplyDeleteAll it takes is 20 minutes, and I'm ready to tackle the day, wheee! :)
I try to make sure I get 10 minutes. no more than 10 minutes required. great post!
