What are you committed to? What are you developing discipline around?
One of the niyamas, tapas speaks to our self-discipline, our practices and habits.
It is so helpful during this time of year, to reflect on the things we are dedicated to- our physical routines, our spiritual or emotional practices, our educational or cognitive pursuits. Are your endeavors still serving you? How is the vigor or your adherence to your practice? Do you need to apply more or less energy to get to where you’d like to go?
Take time for this slightly more vigor, full body yoga practice to reflect on your commitments and build some heat to support you as we move into this chilly and dark winter season. Thank you for practicing with us.
Suggested Props:
strap (dog leash/ karate belt), blocks or stable chair, yoga mat, blanket or towel
