Day 4 & 5 of 40 Yoga Challenge

Sometimes we have to put our noses down and work hard.  Yesterday was one of those days.  I love teaching yoga.  I had the opportunity to do a sample yoga class to a group of women for a "Ladies Night" last night.  I got to tell them about some of the benefits of practicing yoga.  It inspires me to talk about it.  Simple things like moving all of your joints, paying attention to your breath, and practicing relaxation flat on your back, makes a profound difference in physical, emotional and mental well-being.

It is not easy to commit to a daily yoga practice.  It is simple to practice yoga daily.  It doesn't have to be complicated.  Moving with awareness, intention, focusing on the breath.  This is simple.  Taking action when your mind tries to talk you out of it.  That is the work.  You can then take this lesson into other areas of life.  Where do you avoid taking action?
