Not Practiced for 2 Weeks

For two weeks I have not practiced in the morning, and this week I started practicing again. The reason for the break was due to a house move. Of course when I say I haven’t practice for two weeks im only talking about my morning asana practice, not the day to day, moment to moment practice.

David Swenson says that our personal morning practice becomes a “benevolent friend”. This morning I am reminded that this statement is true for me. Developing a personal practice really does cultivate something special you don’t get in a class environment.

It feels good to be practicing again, already after 4 days my body is opening up again and my practice is renewed. I think the odd break in practice can be healthy, so long as it is occasional. You don’t always know what you have until you don’t have it.

Today I added some seated and inversion postures to my practice, as it now feels like a good time do so. This is part of developing my morning practice into the full ashtanga primary series.
