It was a good day to practice; I followed the practice from the Yoga Journal 21 day challenge and then did a few other asanas as well. I read about the YJ teachers involved in this online work and then read about standards for certification as an introductory Iyengar yoga teacher. Guidelines of how to teach, how to demonstrate, how to make adjustments, and the syllabus of poses you are expected to know in order to become certified. A lot of work.
How did your work go today? Are you making time for yourself? I know. I know. It is hard when you have your mother, your brother, your husband, your children, your aunt, your friends, your dog, your cat, your neighbour, your father, your new acquaintances, and your home all to take care of, plus work, plus feed yourself, plus wear okay clothes, plus shop for tomorrow, plus travel time…….etc. etc. etc.
So, as you travel, gaze inwards, that is if you aren’t driving a car but rather are commuting on public transportation. As you care for another, realize that the roles here could easily be reversed, so care for the person with as much love, kindness and understanding that you would want to feel if you were the person receiving the care.
And as you begin to unwind after your day, breathe into yourself, thank yourself for all the goodness you spread today. Feed yourself with food that truly nourishes you. Celebrate being you, if only for a brief time.
And most importantly, make time to laugh out loud.
