Ashtanga Primary Series: Benefits of a Pre Warm-up 🪷

It has been a tough month with the long nights, planning classes and organising a new practice schedule! Getting back into a steady flow after celebrating Christmas and spending time with Family can sometimes be challenging, especially if you felt alone or unwell. ☕ Take a pause in your day now and make a cup of tea (if you have not already got one!!) and continue reading…

Wherever you are on your Ashtanga Mysore journey, find a space today, any space, and take 5 minutes to setting a fun intention for the New Year. 🌠

I chose to unroll my mat yesterday around midday and see where the decision took me. I spent my 5 minutes doing energised steps, arm raises and gentle turns. This is now apart of my daily practice routine in 2026, a pre warm-up. It was perfect to balance out the for cold air blowing in from the garden and it helped to motivate me and inspire me to start daily Ashtanga practice immediately after. ✨️

Working with this positive energy has many benefits, some being bringing joy to your daily practice and others by preparing the mind and body for stretching in winter weather. I look forward to each time I will be practicing in the frosty weather now! I hope you will too. ❄️

This short 5 minutes helps you learn how to set an intention and whatever the outcome, this small act will give you courage for and bring kindness into your year ahead. Bring your tea, maybe put some music on, roll out your mat, have your journal nearby and enjoy! Namaste. 🙏🩵
