THIS month becomes re-start of my yoga sojourn. Last week, I went into an Ashtanga yoga Challenge with Teacher Jang Samson, then I am now completing my 10-day Ashtanga Challenge in the island born of Fire Camiguin.

Let me share some lessons from the past days. As a yogi, there are times I asked myself in my daily practice, is this enough? How deep is my practice? Should I continue this or not? These are doubts and questions about how my Yoga journey has been.

I do home practice if I can go the studio. Sometimes its hard to find a good place to be in your mat, but it doesnt matter as long as you do practice.

Your home yoga practice should be an ecstatic expression of who you are, in the present moment.

That means that it, like you, can and should change over time and whatever the time that you want. I do practice in the morning, the yogi hour at 4 a.m., sometimes 10 a.m. or even mid-afternoon. Your yoga practice does not have to look like anyone elses. Nor should it! It should be uniquely and divinely you. So get creative and express yourself but try to stay within some structure.

The beauty of yoga is that it is different for everyone. Yes! Precisely, and correctly true. We see this first in classsome students will be flowing through a full vinyasahopping back into chaturanga dandasana and then upward facing dog, while others will be blessed out in child's pose, sending their hips to their heels and resting their foreheads on the mat. I know it is okay to come to rest pose as long as you want.

I found these questions relatable and borrowed them from Yoganonymous.

So before you begin, answer some simple questions. This is not a test; this is an assessment, asking you what you need to create a sustainable home practice. Take out a journal and start writing answers, stream-of-consciousness style, not letting your egos or the shoulds of your life get in the way.
