Our lives are always unpredictable and can sometimes be very hectic. However, I notice on a daily basis how this affect my students yoga practice. Typically when life gets crazy, the first thing that we let go of are the "extras" so that we can deal with whatever the biggest thing on our plate is. This is a good strategy, but really it comes down to whether or not you think that your yoga practice is an "extra". If it is, then it is seems easy to skip practice that day and instead deal with the stress in your life head-on. However, I would like you to consider if an hour of practice would instead help you face the challenges with a clearer mind?
Our yoga practice helps pull us through those hard times. We would not, hopefully, skip brushing our teeth or our hair - even during these stressful times. Why would be put yoga in a separate category? Isn't it just as important in your life as having clean teeth? What about a clean and calm mind? An open heart?
Our yoga practice is similar to building a brick wall. Each day that we come into practice, we put another brick on that wall, getting a closer glimpse of where we are headed and just how big this experience really can be. Yoga is like the other things in your life, in order to get there, you have to keep moving towards the goal and putting each brick down securely.
