These past few weeks we've been diligently working on building consistency in our yoga practice, and as we get into the thick of things we can start to notice some of the secondary effects of our efforts, offering us opportunities to reap some deeper benefits of our practice.

   We first started by making time for our practice at work and throughout the day, even if it was just to breathe. Then we expanded on things by incorporating a simple 3 step method to find better success in building consistent practices, focusing on clear intentions, realistic schedules, and finding motivation through Joy. This week we will look at some of the wonderful things that can make themselves available to us when we dive deeper into our consistent yoga practice! 

    Having consistency as the foundation of our practice, can bring pearls of growth and opportunities that were otherwise invisible to light. As we become more familiar with our practice, the nuances become things of interest, and we can find ourselves learning more about our interactions with the environment. 

It's similar to some of the benefits of an Ashtanga practice, where the sequence is more rigid and familiar, and we are able to notice the differences in how our bodies show up for us more keenly from class to class.  In that same way, as we practice with more consistency, we can find ways of working more in tune with our environment, as we notice more about the places we frequent. If I regularly attend Jordan's Saturday morning class, and I decide I want to eat more local fresh foods, I might decide to do my grocery shopping regularly at the farmer's market across the street before or after class, and make my day move smoother, while also helping towards future goals as well (FYI, parking is easy peasy behind the studio before class). The benefits we experience from a consistent practice are ever-expanding if we allow them to be.

SO HOW ABOUT WE START SIMPLE?

    With all these great things waiting for us with just a little bit of work with consistency, how about we start by setting some small goals for ourselves? To help us out we can start with a few basic options that will help us tune into and work with our environment. 

  Try to take at least 2 classes this week!

  Go to the Saturday Farmer's Market!

    These small goals should help us with building and maintaining a little more consistency in our practice!

We've got some fantastic things going on at the studio, including a new Lomi Lomi Hawaiian Massage/ Reiki therapist, Maricel,  Vitamin Shots with Summer, and a  Spirit Guide Connection Workshop with Liana!
