It's my friend and fellow teacher from Germany who says we are going to Make yoga. I love it and it has stuck with me.
Every other day, I have a ritual: First I dress in my yoga and walking appropriate attire (my husband and I walk on the weekdays). Then I make my bed and tidy my bedroom. After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I turn on my music and hit my mat. How much yoga will I make? I will make yoga until I am done. How will I know that I am done or if it is enough? I will feel it in my body.
One of the first best skills that we learn in our yoga is body awareness. Unfortunately this body awareness is often having to do battle with such judgements as: That's not how I practiced yesterday, or I have more energy than that, or I OUGHT to be able to do such and such. I tell you, if you will simply make a habit of leading your body to the mat, with no requirements on what you have to do and for how long, you will be able to open to the love of making yoga.
