Don’t Forget to Pack Your Yoga!

Along with everything else you can fit in your car or in your suitcase – your most important item might be your yoga practice. It doesn’t even have to take up any space. If you can squeeze it in bring your mat – but otherwise your towel or that lovely beach sarong improvise nicely.

Yoga for Summer Holidays…

Travelling is exciting and invigorating but it also throws us off balance.

In yoga speak we call it aggravated “Vata”. Do you find yourself a bit spacey and off balance when you are out of your regular routine? Are you forgetting the simplest things like where are your keys? Your sunglasses? Or where you parked the car?

Not to worry – a few simple yoga poses can help. Yoga really helps to ground us, take away the “spaciness,” and be more present with our fabulous vacation experiences.

You may choose to do it...

• As soon as you wake up, move, stretch and get the body moving.

• It might be part of your beach routine (yoga on the beach is super fun).

• Or your afternoon break from the sun or evening wind down.

Whatever works best for you but try and be consistent every day, this helps us feel grounded too.

Take a moment right now and connect with what time of day appeals to you the most to practice a few minutes of yoga? ________________________

Make yoga part of your daily routine to help you get the most out of your vacation.

It doesn’t have to take long.

You don’t even need a mat.

To make it even easier let’s give you a plan to follow. Plans also help calm your “Vata” aka spacey nature.

A few summers ago on the Flourish blog we published a weekly yoga practice. And every summer since then I go back to these simple routines.

They just work and make it so easy you can't say no.

Here's one of my favourite routines you can try today: Meditative Yoga Flow
