How to Keep Yoga Interesting

You gotta love teachers who keep it interesting.

Keeping yoga interesting, keeps you coming back. Win-win.

Trouble is...that isn't really yoga. Lemme explain...

What're you concerned about when you're practicing yoga? Where's your focus?

Breath. Bingo!

If you're focussed on your breath, what changes from session to session? Nothing. Yup...

It literally takes years to open your body. It'd be more interesting sitting watching an orchid bloom.

Only we aren't sitting watching. Our mind is laser focussed on the breath.

Yoga is neither boring nor interesting. It just is.

When Is a Yogi a Yogi?

When do you know you're a yogi?

Three classes per week? Four? Five years practice? Ten?

It's not really the number of classes, or length of time practicing - although that will eventually affect you. It's attitudinal.

But it's not your attitude to yoga. It's how yoga changes your attitude or approach to other things.

When you find yourself at work saying "Whatever will happen will happen"...and previously you were this ultra-OCD person, then unfortunately, yeah, you're a yogi.

It'll get you eventually, if you keep coming back, J.
