In Yoga Everything's Free But Nothing's Cheap

ANYTHING you see in the whole wide world of yoga, is yours for the taking.

Every back breaking, gravity defying, pretzel pose is all yours for the taking. Not only that.

You can be thin, toned, happy and sexy as hell, if that floats your boat...yours...sold!

Hmm...what's the catch?

No catch. All you have to do is decide what you want and practice what you want.

It's literally as easy as that.

But let's not confuse free with cheap.

The pose maybe freely available, but the cost - especially for those spectacular poses  - is high.

The cost is day after day, month after month and sometimes year after year of practicing the same damn thing.

Here's a couple of things that will help keep you on track...

Plan to practice your desired pose at least 3 times per week. 2 is maintenance, 3 is progress.

Know which other poses will assist you in getting there. This is key in introducing variety, to keep you motivated along the way.

Have a set time and place to practice. This is all about reducing blockers to you practicing. Time and environment are the enemy of practice.

Understand the use of props and use them. This is all about minimizing the stress repetitive practice places on your body. Straps, wedges, blocks, rollers. Practice today so you can practice tomorrow.

Ok, that's enough listing. Time to get to it, J.
