It's almost officially spring. Daylight savings has already hit and it's staying lighter a little bit longer. A lot of people take this time to do a little spring cleaning in their homes and offices, but what about a little spring cleaning for your body, for your mind and your spirit? If you are feeling like you've failed at your attempts for a New Year's Resolution, why not change your intentions and take a spring forward, yoga style?
Yoga studios do stay open during the warmer months for those yogis who must get their fix to stay toned, vibrant and healthy through the spring and summer months. But it's also a fabulous time for beginners to put their big toe in the water and try a class or for novice yogis who want to try a different style of yoga or try a class that's completely different from what they've been doing.
Why do I suggest this? Because there is a strange phenomenon that occurs every year when it gets warmer. People naturally want to spend more time outdoors and they start to abandon their practice. They stop doing what was helping them feel so good in the first place and go on to other things. And the yoga studios have smaller class sizes or must cancel classes altogether.
So, if there are smaller class sizes, then perhaps you won't feel so much fear or angst about trying yoga. There's less pressure there, plus you'll get more personalized attention from the teacher. Now is the time to do it. There are so few things out there we can do for ourselves that are really good and healthy, and yoga is one of them. You'll be rewarding your body with a practice that has been studied for thousands of years and you'll be supporting local studios who need you.
