Day 30. Fort Hase beach Honest yoga...and what exactly would that entail? Well, according to me, honest yoga is the yoga you do when you can. A yogi(ni) who may not have time or energy to fit in a class or "full" home practice but still fits yogi in? Yes, that's honest yoga.
Since being in Hawaii this last month plus, I've certainly found myself following this sort of yoga practice. Have I had fatigue and extenuating circumstances? Yes, but even with that I get my "yoga on" daily in even the most basic of ways. Why even bother if I'm not fully committing? Well, that wouldn't be very yogic of me now, would it!
Even though the type-A side of me very much feels this way about doing something completely and in a certain way, I have much more important things to be caring for. Like my health and jeopardizing that is the opposite of my goal. So, I'll continue to take my home practices however short or scattered throughout the day they may be...5 minutes here, 10 there...it does add up. And it's me being more intuitively aware of what my body actually needs instead of spending a whole class doing something that drains me out instead of building me up. Group yoga classes, I will return to you. But in the time I need to, without fear of excessive heat or germy people. I will be back. But until then, I'm flying solo and building up my strength and endurance.
