Alarm bells were ringing.

I did a private with a student at the studio yesterday. She wanted a sequence she could do at home so that when she couldn’t make it to class she could at least do something so she wasn’t going backward.

Sound like a smart woman right?

And she often could not come to class with a full-time shift job, and living and caring for her terminally ill mother who needs 24hr care.

How on earth was she ever going to find the time to practice?

That’s what she was thinking because she thought she had to set aside 20 minutes a day to get on the mat.

In an ideal world, we can set aside 15+ minutes in a day to get on the mat...

But not if you are this student.

You should have seen the look on her face, the joy, and relief when I explained that yoga practice does not have to be 15 minutes+ on the mat.

I gave her a few sets of poses that she could do in the kitchen, lounge room, office, anywhere anytime.

I instructed her to only do one or two a day. So that her goal was realistic, achievable and would leave her feeling confident to do it again.

This is what she wrote to me in an email the next day…

“Thank you so much for yesterday. I was so thrilled to learn that I could just do one position and still be practicing yoga.

I did further practice at home using the bench and chair. Soo excited 😆 “

A regular home yoga practice is achievable we just have to check our expectations on what we want our practice to be and what we can honestly achieve.
