I show up at yoga class one
day a week and I can’t seem to get centered. I’m sitting on my mat, setting an
“intention for myself” when all these thoughts start flooding my mind. I need
to do a load of laundry when I get home, remember to call the lawn guy back,
find a babysitter for this weekend, email so-and-so and, oh wait, did I silence
my cell phone?
The only thing I have found
to solve this problem is to show up at the gym earlier and do some form of
cardio before stepping into class. I’m able to make my mental lists while I’m
on the elliptical or treadmill and be more calm by the time yoga begins. But on
the days we’re running late (and aren’t we always?), I haven’t figured out how
to get into the yoga zone. Any advice?
