Develop a Personal practice

by | Apr 13, 2014 | Uncategorized |

Just a short, daily practice, if it’s the right one, can make your day SO much more; More manageable, more calm, more abundant, more enjoyable.

It’s like watering a plant – a little each day and the plant flourishes. A small commitment can make big changes to your life.

It’s always good to come to class and practice with others, to try things you may not try on your own, or get ideas you may not have had at home. To build on this, a personal home practice is also important to develop. Your home practice gives you time to explore where you are at, with the yoga and with life generally. And if you feel like you don’t have time for a personal home practice – ever consider that it could actually help your life flow better, so you feel less pressed for time?

INSPIRED?

I’m looking to develop a workshop or course that helps you develop your own home practice. To do this usefully, I need to know what you’re after in a home practice. If this topic interests you, I’d love and appreciate you helping me develop something useful by answering the questions below and emailing them to me nancy@blissretreat.com.au:
