Good for you for showing up for a yoga class to combat an 8 hr time difference and jet lag!

A solution for your slippery and pricy yoga matt scenario could be by checking out a Semperviva Yoga hatha flow class. All their classes and studios provide free mats that have AMAZING grip!

Check out Semperviva’s Kitts Beach studio on trendy West 4th Ave near the Lululemon store. Also One Yoga, the community studio, and Inner Space in Gastown. There is so much good yoga in Vancouver you’ll have a blast wherever you go. EnJoy! L x

Yes, they talk about this all in the scripture. The Grihastasrama, or Householder period. It is one of pure Karma yoga or Seva!

I hear what your saying, and being able to attend a class is a good option.

I attend classes more as a social now. But I an 53, so I am in a different asrama to you.

jai MA! The whole art of living becomes the practice in that sense. Keep hitting the mat, whenever, wherever time allows. Love!

Such an important comment, thanks for sharing. Self practice is a crucial part of the mix, I learn so much about myself, my body, how I stand in the world in my self practice, whereas sometimes going to a class almost feels like ‘entertainment’ or fillin the mind with information rather than emptying it. Both are so valuable, an I find that I go through phases, almost needing to be led in some moments in my life; at other moments never having enough alone time on the mat. Then there is the practice space to consider. Whereas I used to be able to find a couple of feet just about anywhere to lay down my mat, my home has become off limits due to the sheer chaos and the feeling like there really aren’t a couple of spare feet anywhere to practice at home.

Thanks so muh for sharing and for reading. In love, Lizzie

Morning Lizzie, these topics you are posting are really important, to me, right now.

Unlike you I don’t have a young child to consider. I do have other calls upon my time, however I make sure that I get my practice done as the most important part of my day. Without my time on my own, on the mat, I feel that in all honesty I can’t say I am a yoga teacher. And most importantly this time with myself really allows me to connect to All.

I also don’t consider attending someone else’s class as in the same ball park as self practice. Hope this doesn’t seem harsh, but I was taught by my teachers self practice is proper practice.

Have a beautiful day. Yours in self practice. Om shanti Lili
