Yoga Week Plan & Day 1

I've settled on doing Yoga Week. I knew I wanted to do something more physical, but I am pretty limited by pregnancy and funds.

At first, I didn't want to do yoga because I was worried about it being boring to post about, and I might lose interest. I'm not new to yoga, I've been doing it on and off for several years now, but I've always done the same DVD. I figure I can use the library and YouTube as resources to expand my yoga knowledge and explore the practice beyond the one DVD I enjoy doing.

I have a book that I've talked about before, You Can Do It!: The Merit Badge Handbook for Grown-Up Girls, and one of its badges is a yoga one. In the steps they have, you take A LOT of classes, which I don't have the money to do. I am thinking about using it as a guide to what I look for using my free resources. It has a lot of good resources for obtaining information and knowing what to do, so that should be really helpful.

My plan today is to read through/study the plan in the book, and then adapt it to what I want to do. I'm also going to do some research to find resources for exploring yoga over the next two weeks.

My plan for the next two weeks:

• I want to explore the different types of yoga - Iyengar, Ashtanga, Sivananda/Kripalu, and Aunsara
• After I've tried them all, I will pick the one I enjoy most and then explore it more deeply.
• I want to try to practice yoga at least once a day, maybe even twice a day.
