Morning and Evening Yoga

Recently, I've been thinking about how the time of day affects my yoga
practice. My body and mind are just so different at different points in
my day!

In the morning I have been wanting a vigorous (but short) practice to
wake me up but also to focus my somewhat scattered thoughts. I've been
setting my Guided Yoga preferences to 25 minutes at around 60 (Vigorous)
for difficulty. That's been working well for me although I've had to
pause my sessions a few times to attend to my newly mobile 7 month old!

In the evening, after both kids are blessedly asleep, I've been winding
down my day with a 20 minute Restorative session. It feels like heaven
to stretch out after a long day! I've felt really good about this
routine because even though I don't have time for a long practice,
between the two shorter sessions I feel quite relaxed.

By the way, anyone who wants to try Guided Yoga for the day, just email
me at ashley@guidedyoga.com and I will send you a free one day pass, no
sign up necessary!
