Free Download: Barrie's Risman's "Guide to Home Yoga Practice"

by Bridget

Do you have a home practice? I remember feeling daunted by the prospect of creating my own home practice. It seemed like such an enormous undertaking. The way I started was by just remembering a pose or two, or a short sequence of poses that my teacher had taught in class that week, and repeating them on my mat when I got home. Even if I only practiced for 10 minutes, it was getting me going on the right path. When I began the Advanced Studies Program (the teacher training program at The Yoga Room Berkeley) the whole first year was dedicated to our own personal practice, and we were required to practice daily, so with that kind of structure I found my way to a regular personal practice. 

If you have been wanting to create your own home practice, but haven't quite found your way there yet, I have good news! Barrie Risman has created this amazing Guide to Home Yoga Practice. In it she talks about 5 excellent reasons for creating your own practice, as well as common challenges to maintaining your home practice. She lays out an outline of how to structure your practice, and gives some practical tips for actually making it happen on a regular basis. Best of all, she includes 10 practice sequences to get you started.
