Five-Minute Yoga

I discovered a wonderful Iyengar yoga blog called "Five-Minute Yoga."  Eve Johnson is a certified Iyengar yoga teacher who teaches in Vancouver, Canada.  She has written this blog to help us yoga students cultivate our yoga practice.  You can link to it here

She has a video on the front page which is impressive and well worth watching.  She has blog entries of various poses that only take 5 minutes a day.  And the idea is, if you start with 5 minutes, you may go on to 10 or more.  But even if you just stick with the 5 minute practice, even 3 days that week, you're better off than you would have been without doing anything.  She's encouraging, precise, refreshing, and uplifting.

I'll be incorporating one of her 5-minute practices in class each week to help spark your yoga practice at home.
