January is going to be a 30 days of yoga challenge a la Bikram i.e. 30 sessions in 30 days. The background behind 30 day challenges is that 30 days is generally recognised as the period of time it takes to form new habit. I want to form a yoga habit, I'm also curious about the affect of yoga on my mood so as well as tracking yoga sessions, I'm going to track how I feel before/during/after the sessions.
I've started off pretty well - doing yoga every day and even attending a couple of classes (I think my yoga teacher was relieved I hadn't been hit by a bus!) Despite my long absence from classes it appears that I've done enough to keep my body ticking over so thankfully am still able to touch my toes (phew).
A benefit of doing yoga regularly is that it becomes increasingly easier to keep the habit going. Also my body is awake and my muscles are humming (in a good way). It feels pretty good.
To keep up the habit I've put some yoga sessions in the diary:
- Yoga Workshop with Claire Missingham (Sat 12th - £70) @Triyoga
- If you can afford the travel, workshop costs and putting aside a whole day, a trip to one of the various Triyoga studios in London is much recommended. Some of the best yogi's in the world visit the studios to deliver workshops and, if you have a passion for yoga, it's well worth attending to widen your knowledge and viewpoint.
- Day of Yoga @ Jilandra yoga studio in Hartley Whitney (Sun 27th - £45)
- I cannot recommend Jill Jones and her workshops enough - she has a true passion for yoga that is inspirational, lots of lovely ladies (and gents) attend her sessions which are also excellent value for money.
