Making YOGA a daily habit
Â
As a mom and parent it can be hard to find time for personal self-care and yoga.
There’s often a lot going on and you often end up having to organize things according to the needs of your kids, partner and household. Things can get a little crazy at times, but one way to get grounded when things seem a little up in the air, is to start a daily yoga practice. One that doesn’t involve a commute or too much prep.
You might think it would be difficult to do with a busy schedule, or you might have tried before, but it didn’t work. But what if I told you there was a way to stick to a daily yoga routine, despite a hectic schedule? Well there is, and it requires a few simple steps that can make a radical difference in your day, allowing you to feel your best.Â

The steps you need to take to develop a daily yoga practice are to:
Set up a designated space in your home or room.
It could be a space in your room or living space, just make sure to keep it clutter free. My family and I live in a small two bedroom apartment and I like to practice in the living room. I keep my mat in the same area next to the furniture and it makes it really convenient for me to roll out and do yoga.
Download a habit tracker and include Yoga as one of the items.
Keep your yoga mat in the same room that you practice.
Sign up for or bookmark a yoga program online.
Choose the amount of time you want to practice and set a timer.
Whether it’s only 40 minutes or 10 minutes that you have that day, set a timer and make sure to do yoga for that amount of time. If you only have time for a quick 5 minute yoga stretch one day, because you had a lot going on, make sure to increase the time you practice the next day, to either a 20 minute or 30 minute practice.
Start small.
Designate one to several days a week to take a class outside home.
