Summer is a time for relaxation, fun, and adventure. However, it can also be a challenging time to maintain our wellness goals, especially if you are a parent. With kids out of school, it can be difficult to find time for self-care practices like yoga. However, with a little planning and creativity, it is possible to maintain your yoga practice during the summer months.
Make a Schedule
One of the best ways to stick to your yoga goals during the summer months is to make a schedule. Book yourself at your local yoga studio each week and stick to the schedule you create. Protect this time the same way you would for work or baseball practice. This will help you prioritize your self-care routine and ensure that you do not get sidetracked by other summertime activities.
Get Creative with Your Practice
During the summer months, it can be challenging to find uninterrupted time for a full- length yoga practice. However, this does not mean that you cannot practice yoga. Get creative with your practice and try shorter sessions throughout the day. Incorporate a few sun salutations in the morning or a few restorative poses before bed. Even a few minutes of yoga each day can help you maintain your practice and stay committed to your wellness goals.
Involve Your Kids
If you are a parent, getting your kids involved in your yoga practice can be a great way to stay committed to your goals while spending time with your family. Try practicing yoga together in the mornings or afternoons. There are many kid-friendly yoga videos and books available that can help you make yoga a fun and engaging activity for the whole family.
You’ve got this!
Sticking to your wellness goals during the summer months can be challenging, but it is possible. With a little planning and creativity, you can maintain your yoga practice and stay committed to your health goals. Remember to make a schedule, get creative with your practice, and involve your kids in your yoga routine. By doing so, you can enjoy the summer months while still prioritizing your health and wellness.
Shine bright!!
