There’s a good chance that you’ve seen the hashtag #YogaEveryDamnDay before. If you’ve asked yourself how such a goal might be possible for busy people with full schedules, this article will be for you.
We’ll go over some of the ways you can practice yoga every single day — and the exact steps to reach that goal might just surprise you.
Go beyond the poses
In the West, we typically think of yoga as the poses, which are known as Asana in Sanskrit. But there’s actually much more to yoga than just the physical postures.
Yoga is an ancient system that includes eight limbs. In addition to Asana, some of the other limbs include breathwork or breathing exercises, meditation, withdrawal of the senses, and ethical principles and restraints.
So even if you don’t have time to fit in a full physical yoga practice, you likely have time to squeeze in a five-minute meditation or breathing exercise. That still counts as yoga.
