9. NEED a BREAK

When I studied yoga in India, most schools had

drop-in classes from Monday to Saturday, and

Sunday was a day off. Some students used

Sundays for self-practice, the others just

rested, Sunday off was their reward for

intensive yoga practice during the week.

First of all, I believe that making group classes

the core of the practice isn’t really wise. You

become overdependent on the teacher and on

the outer circumstances. If the class gets

canceled or if you happen to travel, you’re left

without practice.
