Self practice & barriers to self practice... What are yours?
⏰Time? 🙀Space? 📱💻Distractions? 👨👩👧👦Other members of your household?
🤔Knowing what to practice?
I will share mine- it's having a clean floor 🤣👣It's something yoga studios are really good at keeping on top of. I personally don't like to roll out my mat on a really grubby floor, especially after living in a flat that has been a building site for the best part of 3 years (see this room just over a year ago 👉) there was no way I could practice on the floor. I had to do standing poses only (except on the bed) to avoid a crumbling, dusty concrete surface, I wore shoes, used chairs as props & went to classes as much as possible & tried to squeeze in some self-practice at studios before/after my classes whenever I could. Now that my flat is no longer a building site (except the bathroom🙈) as of one or 2 weeks, this room is building-dust free for the foreseeable future 🤞🤞 Now it's just the regular household dust to keep on top of. Why not make your floor sweep part of the practice? Sweeping has long been part of Buddhist mindfulness practice so rather than feeling like it's just another chore to do before you can roll out your mat, connect with your breath & be present with your sweeping almost like a pre-rolling out your mat ritual?
N.B. Could also work with hoovering although accepting the noise could be considered more advanced practice 🙉😹 #selfpractice #yogaeveryday #homepractice
