Sticking to a daily routine of yoga practice doesn't seem easy. Many people complain, "it so difficult to SQUEEZE in the time, day after day for yoga practice. Our life is too hectic, the job, the commute, our children, our spouse, our volunteer activities, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn. All these responsibilities take so much of my time! How, can we fit it in? "
In the beginning, especially if you're out of shape, keeping the commitment can be a challenge. However, gentle hatha yoga is probably inherently easier than other disciplines to start and maintain. At least this was my experience. If you start slowly and progress incrementally, you won't suffer from sore muscles which can cause people to back out of their daily commitment. Creating a nice ambiance with candles or relaxing music can remind you that you are giving yourself a GIFT. Don't you deserve to give yourself the gift of 15-30 minutes of relaxation and toning every day? Aren't you worth it? Gentle hatha yoga truly allows you to release what some poet called "the imprisoned splendor within." As a holistic technique, yoga maintains or restore the inherent physical well-being that is your birthright. If you remember this, you should find it easier to practice regularly.
