Bikram Yoga New Year’s Resolutions
As 2011 comes to a close and 2012 is quickly approaching, it is time to start making our new year’s resolutions. Many people make it a goal to spend more time on themselves or to finally get healthy, making Bikram yoga Vegas the perfect answer to many of your goals for the new year.
After the indulgences of the holidays, the new year can often be the perfect thing to motivate you to achieve your new fitness goals. 2012 may just be the right time to tackle your first 30-day challenge or your first 60-day challenge, or it could be the right time to get into shape.
Sometimes, making a simple resolution that you can stick to is the best to ensure that you succeed and form a habit that you keep, rather than forgetting your goal by February. For many people, that simple goal may be making it a priority to get into the hot room at least three days a week consistently. Often, consistency is the key to succeeding in your practice, so fluctuating between periods of no yoga for weeks and then having weeks where you make it into the studio six times doesn’t do much to help you to achieve your long-term goals.
If you are already pretty consistent in your practice, maybe your attainable new year’s resolution would be to increase the frequency of your practice. Some good goals might be to increase your frequency from three days a week to four days a week or, if you already have a five day a week or more Bikram yoga schedule, make it your goal to try a double at least once a week and see how far you go in your practice when your muscles are already warmed up.
If you simply don’t have any more time in your schedule, make it your new year’s resolution to get the most out of class when you do make it into the Vegas Bikram Yoga studio. Promise yourself that 2012 will be the year you stop mentally checking out after camel, going through the motions without being fully engaged, or sitting down during triangle. Whatever your weaknesses are in your practice, you know them best and can tackle them in the new year. Or determine to make your weakest posture stronger and then progressively work on each posture as they fall into the title of “weakest.” No matter how strong your practice is, there is always a week spot that you could be pushing to make better.
We look forward to seeing how you all progress in the new year!
