Excellent. I do Ashtanga Yoga 7 days a week. As I explain to my students, by doing the practice daily, communcation between the body & mind becomes clearer. Ashtanga Yoga is not like other forms of Hatha Yoga or exercise, so it can be done every day. Done properly, with balance & mindfullness, over-training does not occur. Otherwise, your schedule looks similar to my own. I teach 13 classes a week (a wide gamet .. from meditation to Ashtanga Yoga). I meditate daily, & practice JKD 2 days a week at the dojo, one day on my own. I run (5 miles), & do weight-training & physical conditioning three times a week.

Sometimes I run fast, sometimes I run slow. Sometimes my Ashtanga is dynamic, sometimes it is more relaxed. I listen to what my body wants to do, not what I think I need to do. Om Shanti ...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 How do you incorporate the running and ashtanga. I found that when I ran I couldn't get enough flexibility in my hips or knees to do any of the binding poses and twists. I have only been practicing seriously for 18 months. I loved to run and for me it was a great way to keep my weight under control. Now, I struggle with the weight, but my practice is coming along nicely. If you have any suggestions on how I could do both please post them ASAP! tHANKS- mARGEE > > yogini_shakti [sMTP:Yogini_Shakti] > Thursday, September 05, 2002 8:53 AM > ashtanga yoga > ashtanga yoga Re: 7 days a week, except moon days? > > Demian wrote [[Personally I practice asana 3-7 days a week, meditate > 7 days, Jujutsu 2-4 at the dojo but 7 days on my own, then push-ups > and ab work 7 days.]] > ** A fellow MA.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Yes this is a very often over-looked point. I listen to my body, and some times it gives me hints that I need a rest, even though I really want to do something. I just have to listen. -Demian - "yogini_shakti" <Yogini_Shakti ..
