DEVELOPING A DAILY PRACTICE WITH MARY BUE at Yess Yoga
TBA – Yess Yoga 23 E 26th Street Minneapolis
A favorite teacher often would say during her teachings to tune into the “body of the day.” Depending on all the days before, the person we wake up to face is often times different from one morning to the next. Perhaps our muscles are recovering from a rockin’ asana practice from the day before or experiencing / healing from injury. Perhaps we stayed up too late, or ate too much birthday cake, or are feeling the blows of a break up, job transition, loss of some sort. Or maybe we wake up feeling energized, vibrant, ready to go. With so much change from day to day, how can we cultivate a daily yoga practice to tend to our needs in the moment?
Yoga Sutra 1:14 says, “Perfection in practice comes when one continues to practice with sincerity and respect for a long period of time without any interruption.” While striving for perfection isn’t entirely what yoga sage Patanjali means here, one could take this teaching to mean that we can perfect our practice routines … and by practicing with these three key things in mind, our growth evolution on this earth moves towards our ideal self and higher selves. Can we choose and allow time for daily practice, over a long period of our time, without interruption? This is ultimate self care.
In this workshop we will explore different ways to tune into our “body of the day’s” needs using asana (postures), pranayam (conscious breathwork), meditation, mantra, self reflection via journaling, and ritual. These tools can help craft a sustainable practice as well as bring inspiration to a daily practice that might need a little tweaking. Leave with an action plan for your daily routine and deep support to continue your journey. RESERVE YOUR SPOT
