Supporting Your Home Practice


I'm always asked by students (as well as friends and family) how they can start creating their own home practice. And although much of it comes down to just being consistent, and setting up a convenient place in your home, sometimes props and tools can really make a difference. I recently took a look at an interesting new product from My Yoga 2 Go which some of you may find really useful for home practice -- or practice while you're traveling.

The practice system they sell has an interesting twist -- it includes a display case which holds 60 yoga cards (and many of you know how much I like using yoga cards for home practice) and allows you to hang them up on a wall, door knob or on the back of a chair. Conveniently you can buy the system with the case and cards or you can just buy the case or cards separately. I was able to play with the whole system and really found it useful. One of the pluses of the cards that come with the system is that they have color coded a series of different practicing sequences right into the cards, but other cards work equally well in the display case.

If you're looking for something to help you with your home practice or a fun yoga-related gift to give someone for the holidays, I think this would be a great choice.
