Practice Tips: The Best Practice Is The One You'll Do

This is part of a series of blogs called Practice Tips. 

​
As we expand our understanding of yoga, the amount of practices expand with us. We become aware of pranayama, meditation, more postures. We realize we could study texts, philosophy, or anatomy. Quickly, we realize there are so many directions we could go in. How do we choose? 

There is no right or wrong answer. The best thing to do is to follow our interests. Choose what we are excited about and what intrigues us.

The best practice is the one that we'll do. 


If we choose to focus on something that we are interested in, chances are we will actually come back to it on a regular basis. If we choose something that we should do, but don't care much about, chances are we won't. 

This is not to say we should never practice something that we don't like. Of course, we should develop areas of weakness either in our practice or our understanding. But we need to be careful. We shouldn't choose only the things that we struggle with, if it will make us give up the practice entirely. 

If there is a posture that excites you, practice that one everyday. If you're taking a class and the teacher doesn't include that posture, practice it after the class. Commit to your own interests and develop them. If you are interested in an old yogic text, start reading. Take it page by page.

One interest leads to another. Over time, we end up with experience in many different areas. But this doesn't happen all at once. Choose the practice that interests you today. The right practice is the one you'll do.

I think that is smart to cater your yoga routine to what you are comfortable with. I need to get an instructor to help me with some new poses. I'll have to consider getting a yoga instructor with heavy accolades online.

I think one should do yoga in the early morning so that your body acts faster. And also if you need you can keep a instructor to guide you and help you.

I never knew that if there is a posture that excites you, practice that one every day. I never thought that it would be like this, it is an intriguing article to read and I will also share this with my aunt. Thank you for the information about meditation teacher training.

I like that you pointed out that focusing on what we are interested in could be something we will do on a regular basis. With that in mind, I will have been convinced to finally try looking for a live virtual yoga class this weekend. I have been thinking of a physical activity that could be helpful for my health and my weight, and I hope that I will like this activity to finally achieve my goals soon.

I appreciate that you mentioned that concentrating on our interests might become a regular habit. With that in mind, I should finally be persuaded to look for a live online yoga session this weekend. I've been considering a physical activity that could benefit my health and weight, and I'm hoping that I'll enjoy it enough to use it to quickly reach my goals.
