Seven Steps to Heaven

Persevere with your Sadhana on a Daily Basis, Easily & Happily!

1. Know that your practice is an investment – it pays dividends!
2. Practice at the same time, in the same place, every day.
3. Create a daily SADHANA (personal practice) that suits you.
   Include asanas, pranayama and a meditation practice.
4. Practice exactly the same programme for at least one week
   – you can have it written down and kept in the place where you practice.
5. Regularity is more important than the length of time you devote to the practice – use your common sense. Sometimes “less is more!”
6. Go to classes and Yoga seminars / days, retreats etc when you can – it helps to keep you inspired.
7. Practice what you know well and keep your practice simple and fresh. Even if you have practiced a particular technique a thousand times, practice it as if it is the very first time. Enjoy it!
