Yoga is something that takes a lot of focus. I suggest turning down the lights and doing it at a time when you can devote your attention to it exclusively. Give yourself over to the process, and you’ll find it is the best workout you do all week.

I’m going to have to watch this video every time it’s Yoga X day. I want to increase my flexibility. However, it’s the constant going back to start (downward dog, runner’s pose, warrior 1, etc, warrior 1, runner’s pose, downward dog, repeat), that I CAN’T STAND!!! The “10 minute trainer” yoga is more suited for my attention span because of the LACK of repetition. (sigh)

Tony – I overlooked yoga for a long time. It was a rest day and half the time I’d skip it. It is pretty easy to do when you don’t understand WHY yoga is important. As I have gained a better understanding of what yoga is all about, I have enjoyed it much more. At the beginning of each yoga session I set an intention. It is something that I want for myself or for another person I care about. During the practice I focus deeply on this one singular thought at the exclusion of all others. At the end of the practice, I release that thought. I have been doing this for about 5 months now. I don’t always think about the same thing, but I am never surprised when my intentions are realized.

Have a great day Tony.

Nameste.

“Let me tell you a thing or two about a thing or two, cause I know a thing or two about these things.” ~ Tony Horton

Initially Yoga was the rest in my routine. I recall sending a MySpace message to Canadian Girl crying like a baby from the first few workouts. I beleive I said to her “I can’t wait for Yoga its going to be so relaxing!” Her reply was “Message me after Yoga ” Little did I know or appreciate the power of Yoga.

Now Yoga is the backbone of my regiment, thats when I really focus and push myself. Like TaiChi slow and steady, one day I will be able to hold Crane without rolling into a headstand.

Thanks Tony

Thanks. I wish I could take total credit for it. The thought was inspired by Dr. Wayne Dyer. He was talking about yoga and life generally making the point that slow, steady and flexible wins the race over fast, unsustainable, and rigid. Still, it works doesn’t it?

“I like to think of yoga as a flowing river. If you give a river enough time it will wear down even the hardest rocks. Yoga is the same way.”

That is a very good perspective of Yoga. I like that.

I am not sure why but Tony kind of reminds me of Michael Scott in this clip. Thats not a bad thing, just his delivery on yoga made me laugh. Great clip! Almost makes me want to do P90x yoga right now! Almost….
