Self Study Assignment

1. Create a place in your home that feels special for yoga that you can utilize for the next nine months (and beyond). Set it up with all of your props, and make it cozy and inviting. Clear it of all possible distractions.

2. Set aside 15 minutes at the same time every day to practice. Schedule it in your calendar, ideally for first thing in the morning, before your household stirs. But don’t sacrifice sleep: Go to bed 15 minutes earlier than usual so that no sleep is missed.

3. Every day this month (if possible), practice a daily, 15-minute Body Scan Meditation on your pranayama blanket with in one of the asana positions reviewed for this month, preferably Supta Baddha Konasana.
