We hope your practice with consistency has been bearing fruit!
Last week we started exploring the many benefits that we can experience as we build and maintain a consistent practice. This week we will look a little deeper at some more things that make themselves available to us as we move through our practice, like our connections within our yoga community, and our connection to our environment.
We were graced with the storm of a century this past week and once again we are reminded of the strength and unpredictability of mother nature. Some of us may have only had to deal with a little more wind and rain than we're used to, and some of us may have had to fight back a little bit of flooding, but either way when nature decides to shake things up, all we can do as yogis and humans is to prepare and respond.
Although this storm came strong off season, just like with our yoga practice, if we become more in touch with our environment, we can adapt and work with our environment so that we can have more situational awareness, and see things that we may have otherwise missed. These are all things that improve with consistent interaction with our environment and community.
As we practice more and more, we get to know our community a lot better than we did before. You may find you take some classes with the same people, and maybe one day you make a new friend over coffee or lunch after class. We can also find our fellow yogis help us keep ourselves accountable in reaching our goals and staying consistent. One of my favorite things about our community at Home Yoga Studio are all of the generous members who will sometimes bring in fresh produce from their gardens and properties to share with everyone else. There's a warm communal feeling that overcomes me when I see students enjoying fresh produce together with smiles on their faces. All these things can be experienced and enhanced through a consistent practice, and they can also help strengthen your consistency!
SO LET'S PUT THINGS INTO ACTION!
Here's a few small things that we can do this week to challenge ourselves to be proactive in reaping the rewards of a consistent practice, from connecting more with our community, or working more closely with our environment.
1. Go to lunch or coffee with a friend from class!
2. Take a Walk through Old Town and find something new!
3. Spend 30 mins being present in a familiar environment!
These simple goals should help us with expanding our connection with our community and environment, and help us enjoy the little things a bit more, ultimately leading to a more consistent practice. We've got some fantastic things going on at the studio, including Health and Wellness Shots with Nurse Summer, and a Spirit Guide Connection Workshop with Liana!
