TIP #1. Make a schedule. Join a class if required. Well, we ain’t kidding. We often think that we don’t require schedules or timetables. However, the moment you will put everything on paper or on a screen, you will realize its worth. Often, the trick to building new habits begins with setting your intention and creating clear and actionable goals. And a schedule can help you with the same While creating a yoga practice schedule for yourself, the key is to find a slot of time several times a week to practice, and to make it a priority to do so. Ideally, try to practice yoga every day so it’s an integrated part of your routine. With time, keep changing your yoga spots for a smooth continuity of the practice. The best times to fit a practice into your schedule are early morning, right after work, and before bedtime. Still, struggling?

TIP #2: Pair yoga with an already-strong activity. We all have some very strong activities. These very groups of activities have got ingrained in us to such a great extent that we tend to do them every day without fail no matter what happens. So, why not pair the habits you wish to cultivate in yourself with the already-strong ones? Pick any activity that you do on a daily basis - it could be brushing your teeth, reading 2 pages of a book, or writing a journal. Simply follow it up with yoga daily. And see the results! At our 200 hour yoga teacher training in Bali, we often set up the schedule of the attendees in such a manner that activities like brushing, etc. get paired with yoga practice automatically.

TIP #3. Lay Everything Beforehand and challenge yourself. Pick out the exact outfit you’re going to wear, fill up your water bottle, get your mat ready, or lay it out if you are practicing at home. Do every possible thing you could possibly do to get ready. This goes along with the benefit of limiting decisions you have to make to reduce overwhelm and distraction so you don’t give your brain the chance to make up an excuse to not go. While you can use social media or online classes to challenge yourself, you can also set your own goals. Challenge yourself to try new poses, increase your practice time, or be on your yoga mat for 30 consecutive days even if its at the 200 hour vinyasa yin yoga teacher training in Bali. Share your progress and successes online and off. Don’t forget to reward yourself!

When you’re developing a daily yoga practice, it’s important not to put too much pressure on yourself. The point is not to get too bogged down in perfecting the movements. Yoga is a practice that is largely about your own peace of mind. So make time to check in with yourself. Personalize the movements to suit you. At the best yoga teacher training Bali, this is what the experts teach. Also, almost every asana has a variation or modification available to tailor it to your body’s abilities. Taking a more relaxed and individualized approach will keep you motivated to build on what you learn.
