I was not sure if I was going to find any time to practice this weekend. My husband had to cover at work and sunny skies were keeping my kids outside and I'm not at the point yet where I would be comfortable doing yoga outside in front of my neighbors' kids. ("Mommy, why is Mrs. P standing on her head? She's breathing funny--did she pass out?") But I caught a break! My darling hubby came home early and agree to watch the kids outside for me. Yay!
I have set up a little spot in my bedroom and have some nice yoga CDs to listen to. I find that the music helps when I'm not in a studio. In studio, I draw energy from everyone around me. We are all there for the same purpose. When I'm alone, and it's quiet, I find that I'm not able to focus on the yoga asanas or my breath, and I notice things around the house that I could be fixing or cleaning...
The music helps block out the mess. Hearing the sitar or an Indian man chanting closes my mind to everything else and I "feel" like I am ready to practice. And the next thing I know I have been practicing for 30 minutes and feel rejuvenated!
