TO PRACTICING
YOGA AT HOME
BY KIMMY WEST
Hi, I'm Kimmy!
Time
To set a new habit, don't bite off more than you can
chew. Start small. It also helps to tie your practice in
with an existing habit. For example: First, get out of
bed, and make the bed. Second, set a timer for 5
minutes, and flow!
Motivation
FIND JOY Motivation naturally comes when find what you enjoy
doing.
Find what you enjoy. When that joy comes, you'll find
yourself naturally drawn to your mat - no pesky
"motivation" required.

Space
Even if this isn't possible, it's worth find a mat that you
like, and set it up each time for your practice. It's
obvious, but if you like your mat - you're more likely to
practice on it.
MENTAL On the other hand, some of us may have all the physical
space in the world but it's mental space we're lacking.
Having other people to chat with about the places you're struggling, and having people to
practice with and hold you accountable, is huge!
This is why I've created the Yoga With Kimmy Facebook Group, a place for you to
connect with others on a yoga journey! Join, introduce yourself to the group, and grab
some valuable encouragement.
