Yoga Video Review
Home Practice Guide

"Weekly classes are important, they can teach you a lot about yoga and its technique but it's at home, by yourself, on your mat that you begin to experience the deeper meaning of yoga. When you begin to practice alone, you find the wisdom of yoga, speaking within your body. You learn to listen and that's when you find the heart of yoga. Consistency of practice makes yoga a part of your daily life."

 

"When you plan your practice, remember, it's not the amount of time you put in, but the consistency and quality of time. Twenty to thirty minutes a day will do more for you than an hour or two, every now and then. Practicing yoga is a choice you make, it's not something that just happens to you. The more you integrate yoga into your daily life, the more you'll look forward to doing it."
