Your first 30 days
Week 1
Let’s get in the Habit of Daily Practice
This week we’re getting started with the habit of daily practice. And if the word “daily” is intimidating, we’ll cover that as well.
Your first step, dear yogi, is to take a breathe.
Breathe into your beginning.
Breathe into what you hope for yourself.
And know that we’re here to help you every step of the way.

What speaks to you?
We can talk all day about the benefits as a result of regular yoga practice that other people have had.
What matters more, and what keeps you coming back to the mat, is what you need most.
Take a moment to write down three things you hope to achieve through practice this month.
Then, make it visible.
Post it on your fridge. Post it on your bathroom mirror. Post it somewhere, or several places, where you can be regularly reminded of why you’re showing up on the mat.
