Yoga should be about you, and your own practice, not paying yoga teachers for the rest of your life. The Indiv Yoga philosophy is about connecting with your body and mind and tailoring yoga to your individual body, mind and objectives. Therefore I have started releasing FREE short home practice videos with audio instructions, through the Indiv Yoga global newsletter. They will help you 
develop your own personal yoga practice, and keep it up on days you’re not attending classes. This month there will be a short prenatal yoga sequence video for relieving tension in the back and lower body as well as the 10-for-10 Yoga + Meditation Challenge video!
Developing a home practice however, doesn’t mean it’s not important to take classes with well trained teachers, to review how you’re getting along. But it does mean that you can start practicing your yoga, anywhere at anytime, with the added benefit of learning to put a bit of time aside for yourself, your body and your mind. And the practice is even stronger if done in a familiar setting because lets be honest, it’s A LOT easy to live on smoothies, meditating and doing yoga all day if on a retreat in Asia, not surrounded by mess, memories and attachments.
So the challenge is finding that stillness and focus for a few minutes, in a regular day to day space.
We then start applying the calm, focus and control we’re achieving on the mat, to daily routine life… (and if you’re anything like me then you’ll start doing stretches and poses in queues, airports, museums, simply because you’re body tells you it needs it)! On that note always remember the 3 rules of practice:
1) TAKE IT GRADUALLY
2) LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
3) RETURN FOCUS TO YOUR BREATH
NB! I would just like to apologise for my extremely amateur videos and promise that I’m working on my editing, timing, audio, angles etc skills!! I really dislike cameras and the sound of my own voice, but I am practicing on becoming more comfortable and fluid, so the videos get better for you! Any constructive criticism is appreciated, but check in with me in a few weeks and you should see an improvement!
