Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 First I would like to address the "no money for class" part of your story. I don't know how the studios are where you live but our studio has provisions for people who can't afford classes. One person cleans the blankets, several others work a shift at our yoga store, and for every class there is a set up and sign-in person who gets that class free and yet another provides tea for the class. Home practice: consistency consistency consistency. Friends. No excuses. 10min 20min 2 hours. One asana. Just the A cycle. A and B. Like anything else it will build on itself as you practice. Videos are always good. Start simple. No pressure. These are rather vague suggestions but then I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "trouble" if you more specifically define that for yourself you will probably uncover the answers as well for what you need to do to overcome these troubles.

Unfortunately that is my only option at the time since I don't have the money for classes. Does anyone have suggestions on how I might develop a strong home practice? ashtanga yoga Your use of is subject to Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 Hello. I have a similar experience..... Learned the tecniques with a teacher and have since then gone into a homepractice. >From my experience it is two very DIFFERENT things. In a group you do the physical, you experience the group energy. At home you really go into yourself and a whole another process is going on, as you are on you own, and can really go into the depths of your body/mind/emotional/spiritual connection. Don't focus too much on the accomplishment on the practice. Focus on the process!!!!!! Set aside a certain time every day, every other day, or whatever you find comfortable. And then give that time to the process, no matter how much asanas you accomplish. Some days you will end up only crying on the mat while others will be powerfully wonderfully physicallly perfected asanas. Do also some other less serious physical activities without pressure. It works for me.....anyway... Love, Lillemor Den 03-02-25 08.47, skrev "dolahen <latoyagood" <latoyagood: > I practiced Ashtanga yoga regularly about two years ago and > stopped.
