Why After 15 Years of Yoga, I've Chosen a Home Practice

1. Practice when you want, where you want.​​​ ​​Freedom to do yoga with your dog watching birds next to you, in the middle of a hike, or in front of a campfire

2. No traffic/late train/flat tire rush to class​​. Press the snooze button, go on a run, do a half an hour of your flow-of-choice and still get to work on time

3. Cost. It's free

4. No pressure/no judgement. The ultimate listening-to-your-body experience. No awkward whispers about how you need to modify your dancer because of an injury. Do that two-minute forearm plank without feeling like an overachiever!

5. Peace. No commentary, no gossip, no cell phones on vibrate

6. Creativity. Down dog into reclined hero? Never heard of it. Close your eyes, go wild, maybe even dance.
