Starting a Personal Practice

OK, so January is almost over, but that doesn't mean we cannot
still develop some new habits and work on those resolutions we
made at the beginning of the year! Monica tells us it only takes
21 days to develop a new habit - so why not use that power to
achieve something wonderful?

Our idea (and we don't claim it's original!) is to encourage you
to start a personal (yoga) practice. Something simple. Something
sustainable. Something you will do every day, and will see and
feel a benefit from. So we suggest a very simple practice that
starts with Savasana! Along with practicing yogic breathing and
some "Proto-Pranayama", you may even begin some simple exercises
to help you enter a meditative state. All while lying on the
floor. We're serious - and it couldn't be easier.

We share our stories about how much personal practice has helped
us (The Testimony section!). And finally, we pick one of the
Yamas and one of the Niyamas that we are going to pay special
attention to during this time of new resolutions. So maybe we
don't quite pick just one of each, but we hope the conversation
will inspire you to think about what could do with your special
attention right now.
