30 Days of Yoga… Take Up the Challenge?

With New Years resolutions already falling by the wayside, yoga studios all over are capitalizing on the lack of resolve by offering another chance for instituting change.

To get your sorry butt off the sofa stir the embers of motivation, perhaps a little challenge might be in order.  The 30 Day Yoga Challenge might be what you- and I, Buddha knows!- need to be finding our way to the mat more regularly.

Beginning February 1st, we shall all commit to practicing every day. Every day.  If you miss a day, it’s to be made up on the following.

Remember, it’s a Challenge.

Perhaps you find it easier participating with a class, such as that at Vancouver’s Yogapod, as many studios are offering such programs.  The beauty of this is, of course, you can always do it on your own.

Choose your venue.  Choose your style… and for heaven’s sake, feel free to choose the time of day and the length of practice that works best for your schedule.  Keep in mind that this has less to do with the 30 days you’ve committed than to instituting real change in your life and health.

As I consider my own commitment, I know that here in the sticks I don’t have the benefit of a studio that can provide me with such a program. I’m on my own.  With no one but my lone reader many readers to keep me honest.

30 days?  Dare I say… I’m in?!

September: National Yoga Month!

I’m afraid it’s been a busy month in the world of MommyOm… I was under the impression that, as Staples keeps reminding us, “It’s the most wonderful time of the yeeeeeear!” because September means Back to School and thus find myself way behind the 8-ball and totally slow on the uptake in this being National Yoga Month!

For those of you not completely lost in the bliss and sudden abundance of peace and quiet in your lives, perhaps this month might also mean taking advantage of the various specials held at studios around America and getting acquainted with yoga for the first time.  For others, such as myself, it means considering what yoga means in my day-to-day life and perhaps re-committing to a regular practice… or maybe I did that last month?!?!

Whatever.  Whether it’s Back to School or National Yoga Month, do yourself a favour and check out a local yoga class this month.  It might be just what you need to fill up all the time you’ve recently acquired!

Happy Yoga Month!

Yoga at The Great Lawn: Today’s the Day!

Personally, I can’t imagine I would get into a class of 10,000 people… but clearly, for at least 10,000 people this is exactly what blows their hair back.

In the spirit of the first full day of summer,  The World’s Largest Free Yoga Class in Central Park takes place in less than nine hours, beginning at 6pm, and will have the remarkable distinction of being the only yoga class to actually be visible from space. Yikes!

The class will be led by uber-instructor, Elena Brower and hosted by Reggie Watts.  Clearly, an event such as this, it’s not just the 10,000 ujjayi breaths you’ll be hearing throughout the class… the likes of Buddy Wakefield, Grammy nominee DALIEN, aka 13 Hands, WAH!, O’Nkosi Rhythms and others.

Here’s a little more info… grab your mats and jump a plane.  You’ve got only nine hours to get to New York’s Central Park to get your breath on… with only another 9,999 other people!
