Summary
Back in 2002, when I couldn't make it to a studio, I would play an old cassette tape and practice to that in my bedroom, hotel room, or even outdoors wherever I was. At-home practice has always been part of my yoga experience, but I'm the type of introvert that gets energy and inspiration from being alone. I'm naturally driven, and I'm harder on myself than any teacher has ever been; so when people asked me how to develop an at-home practice, I always struggled to answer until recently when I've compiled my thoughts and observations.
Over the years, I've learned some very specific things from my students that make at-home practice success more probable, and I'll share them all with you on this week's Yoga Talk Show.
------------
Listen & Learn:
- Why practicing in an old, ragged t-shirt might be hurting your motivation
- Why the advice to "just do what feels good" is a flawed approach
- How to setup a home practice room
- How to keep your practicing going on the road
- Audio/video classes: do they work?
- Why social support is key
