Are you still in the throes of holiday spirit? Running around, stamping cards and wrapping gifts, squeezing in self care in bits and pieces?
SO. I had a lot of feedback from my last yoga post - and it was almost 100% people saying, “Yeah, I totally need to remember to fit in some yoga – I always feel better when I do…” Well, yeah! You should totally take a wee bit of time to make yourself feel awesome!
I get it. You are super-ultra-mega busy. I am, too – I have a husband, three kids and a photography business. In between all of this and Christmasing it up, I’m selling a house and buying another. We clever folks are bizzay people.
That’s why I’m not doing an official challenge pose this time around – more like a gentle reminder. The amazing thing about a yoga practice is that it’s more portable and available than any other fitness/wellness regime. You can do it anywhere, at any time.You can do poses in the office, outside, in bed. You don’t even need shoes. For the last three weeks of this month, make yourself a bit of you time.
Carve out five minutes – go through a few vinyasas or even just a few downward dogs and planks. Pat yourself on the back when you do – you just dedicated five minutes of your day to your wellness. If you’ve got another 30 seconds to spare, tweet that you just did five minutes of #CleverYoga – I’ll tweet you back a major high five.
Here’s my photographic proof you can practice anywhere – me & the One Legged King Pigeon at the L.A. Auto Show this weekend. Perhaps not the most conventional place to strike a pose, but see? Any time, anywhere. I’ll be throwing these in every now and again and I’d love it if you joined me – in fact, I’ll send a cool prize to the first three people to share a photo of themselves doing a pose on Twitter or Instagram with the #CleverYoga tag.
So what are you waiting for?
