ashtanga yoga ashtanga twice a day?

[Guest guest]

I know in India, at least in Mysore, there is so much

activity that this is the only time when it is

quiet...

Namaste, Lawrence.

Why do you feel that you need to do your practice

twice each day?

i dont really feel the need to practice twice a day. i was asking the

question mainly out of curiosity. i have found that with my own practice

there certain advantages and disadvantages to practicing in the morning and

practising in the evening. since there are these differences, i was

wondering if, by practicing twice a day, i could be able to experience the

advantages of both. of course, as with many thing in ashtanga, these things

can seldom be judged purely by deductive reasoning. i wanted to find out two

things:

 

1. if many people practice twice a day, and if so gain some insight into

their experiences.

 

2. if practicing twice a day was generally regarded as deepening the

practice, or whether people feel it would lead to a poorer general practice.

 

however, in response to your initial question, i think that any feelings i

have to wanting to practice twice a day may come from some degree of

disappointment with my own practice. i am aware, though, that, as far as

ashtanga is concerned, quality of practice is more important than quantity,

and in order to improve my practice, i must pay more attention and

concentrate. to improve these qulaities, guidance from those more

experienced than one's self is invaluable.

 

thanks for everyones help so far. if anyone has any further comments i would

love to hear from you.

 

have a happy christmas

Michael-

I personally find that i practice better in the later afternoon, since I am

awake and am much more limber by then. I was getting up very early and

practicing at 5:45am for awhile and I loved the stillness and the energy I had

during the day, but, I was very inflexible compared to an afternoon practice.

I know someone who was practicing twice a day for awhile and she became very ill

because of it. You need to rest your body and one practice a day is enough.

There are also easier yoga asanas that you can do for relaxation or stretching

if you feel the need.

There is alot to life, don't miss it by becomming so focused on the practice

that you forget all else.

Happy holidays.
