There is nothing more tranquil then waking up before the sunrise and starting my day off with a meditative yoga practice. Even if the practice is an intense one, the environment is absolutely serene. It is completely still and silent, stress has not crept in my mind from my job, and I find that the physical practice paves a smooth path to the spiritual practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Practicing at this early hour creates a pattern of stillness in my mind so that I can conquer any obstacle the day has in store for me. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Look! I put myself inside the moon!<\/span><\/p>\n

Before I started practicing Ashtanga Yoga, I was a big time night owl. I am still a lady of the night by nature, and it is easy for me to fall back into that habit if I let it happen. Of course, the most important thing is to get your practice in when you can, but one of the traditions of being an Ashtanga Yoga teacher and practitioner is an early morning practice. I don’t question it. It’s just the way it is, and I love the simplicity of it. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you have been practicing or teaching at a Mysore Shala<\/a> for awhile, the transition is obvious. Most people start off during the night session, and when someone has decided to dedicate themselves to the practice, they start to show up in the mornings. It is pretty fabulous to watch!<\/span><\/p>\n

You’re going to think I am absolutely nuts, but at one time I was teaching an early morning 6am class, and this meant that I had to get on my mat by 4am to finish my practice. I had to be awake at 3:45 am at the latest! If you think that is crazy, you are right. But, good crazy!  <\/span><\/p>\n

I treat myself to warm ginger, lemon, honey detox tea right after I practice, so it is one of my biggest motivations for getting out of bed and onto the mat. This tea cleanses the liver and sparks digestion, so it is a great way to keep your body hydrated and balanced throughout the day. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
