OK, so January is almost over, but that doesn't mean we cannot still develop some new habits and work on those resolutions we made at the beginning of the year! Monica tells us it only takes 21 days to develop a new habit - so why not use that power to achieve something wonderful?
Our idea (and we don't claim it's original!) is to encourage you to start a personal (yoga) practice. Something simple. Something sustainable. Something you will do every day, and will see and feel a benefit from. So we suggest a very simple practice that starts with Savasana! Along with practicing yogic breathing and some "Proto-Pranayama", you may even begin some simple exercises to help you enter a meditative state. All while lying on the floor. We're serious - and it couldn't be easier.
We share our stories about how much personal practice has helped us (The Testimony section!). And finally, we pick one of the Yamas and one of the Niyamas that we are going to pay special attention to during this time of new resolutions. So maybe we don't quite pick just one of each, but we hope the conversation will inspire you to think about what could do with your special attention right now.
