30 Minute Life Change

That’s mostly up to you! I think we will all see the most benefit if we practice all three activities every day — whether all at once or spread throughout the day: maybe ten minutes in the morning, midday and before bed.

That said, sometimes life gets in the way. It is best to set your intention and schedule your ten minute blocks (and then stick to it), but as long as you do each activity at least once during the course of the week, I think you’ll see a benefit.

If you feel it’s only practical to carve out ten minutes a day, then you choose which activities you’ll repeat during the week. (I think it should be those that challenge you most.)

Congratulations! That means your mind works. Minds are made to think. These gently-guided meditations will help you recognize when your mind has wandered off and help you bring it back. And, just as a side note, this becomes a very helpful skill when you’re trying to concentrate in your “real” life.

Included before your course commences will also be an introductory meditation so that you can practice and get over any “jitters” you might have.

As one of my teachers says, “you can lead a very full and rich life never ever touching your toes.” While yoga can — and will — increase your flexibility, the point of this all-levels flow is to help you find your breath and better-align your body.

I will also include a brief (25-30 minute) introductory video before we begin the course to help you become familiar with some of the terminology and postures in advance.

That said, if you’re really brand new to vinyasa yoga, I encourage you to just watch each week’s video once before trying it. You can also pause the videos whenever you need to take a moment in child’s pose or a sip of water. And if you’re concerned about “getting credit,” you have my permission to “count” watching the yoga video (once) as part of your 30 minutes. 😉

Over the course of the week, with repetition, your familiarity will grow, and you’ll see increased confidence and mobility.

The point is that you need it. And so do I. Taking a few minutes every day to pause and quiet your mind will reap rewards you can’t imagine. You’ll become calmer, more grateful and more present.

I have done each of these practices on my own for many years, but I was thinking recently that I wish they were integrated: that one supported the others. So I decided to create it. For myself. And for you.

Absolutely. You will be able to access the course materials for six months from your chosen start date.

Beginning on your selected start date, you’ll receive two emails a week: one to announce the beginning of the new week and a second reminder/check-in email.

Once the course completes, you will be able to return whenever you’d like, but I will not send 30 Minute Life Change reminders after your first 90-day program.

You decide. When you register, you’ll be asked to choose a start date. As long as it’s at least one day in the future, you’re good!
