Spring Back to Yoga with These 6 Tips & 20% off 10 Class Passes (Promocode: SpringBack)
Fallen away from Yoga? Here are 6 tips to spring you back:
1. Give Self Compassion
Rather than expecting to pick up right where you left off, give yourself a break! Don’t judge where you are now. Accept that this is another step on your yogic journey and appreciate your will to get back on the mat.
To help yourself use a mantra like “I love myself as I am. I accept myself as I am in this moment,” or “I am bettering my mind, body, and spirit in this moment, and I am grateful.”
2. Take It Slow
If you have ever taken a break in your yoga routine, you know you may not be as flexible or balanced as you have been. Coming back you may even be a little sore but refer back to Tip #1 and give yourself compassion.
3. Schedule Mat Time
To get back to your yoga routine, you have to make a conscious effort schedule out your mat time.
Take a look at your calendar, decide what is realistic for you and your schedule, and start penciling in little mat sessions where you can. Keep it realistic, maybe even start with one practice a week, then work your way to two, and so on.
4. Take Group Classes
If you can, get back into a group yoga setting rather than opting to practice at home. This is extremely beneficial for someone getting back into a yoga routine.
Group classes provide accountability, support your progress, and can ultimately make the transition back into a routine more enjoyable. Additionally, working with an instructor who can give you valuable guidance can be very beneficial to your progress.
The support of like minded people and an instructor that has your back will do wonders as you get back to your yoga routine.
5. Props are Your Best Friends
Embrace any modifications the instructor offers in your practice, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself to jump back in too quickly. Use all the props! They’re your best friends.
Remember: take it slow, take it easy, and honour wherever your body is as you get back into yoga.
6. Enjoy the Process
Enjoy getting back into yoga. Feel all the benefits yoga has to offer your mind, body, and spirit.
Now, Spring Back to Your Yoga Routine!
There’s nothing wrong with taking a yoga hiatus. Use the time getting into your yoga routine to observe your practice in a non-judgmental manner. Take it easy on your body, and appreciate your experience in your yoga journey.
