Triangle

As summer comes to an end (well, not technically, but the kids head back to school, the weather changes, etc.), this is often the time where people realize they’ve neglected their yoga program and they vow to get back on track again.

As crazy busy as summer may be, do your best to keep your yoga program going throughout the summer. If your summer is as busy as mine is, you may not always get to do a full class, but something is better than nothing. A short 10-20 minute yoga program can be refreshing and soothing to both your tired mind and stiff body.

Here is a short sequence that you can practice either in your private office, an unused room at work OR at home. No time to do yoga? Get up in the morning 20 minutes earlier than you normally do. You won’t even notice the change, your practice is done before you start your busy day AND you’ll feel calmer and more centered.
