Yoga Nidra – started my day with Chandra Om’s Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra is ‘yogic sleep’. You don’t actually sleep, but you relax your body and mind. I have become a real fan of Yoga Nidra and have several CDs that I enjoy.
I’ve started a new 100 day commitment today. 10 minutes of yoga postures per day. My original thought was to do it between 6 and 7 am but Cammy from www.tippytoediet.com made a point that perhaps it is the time of day that I’m fighting – not so much the act of doing it so I’ve adjusted my goal to be ’10 minutes of yoga postures at any time during the day’. That way, if I want to do them first thing in the morning – no problem but if I want to do them while watching Jon Stewart or Y&R, no problem with that either. Thanks Cammy! It’s good to have suggestions from others – helps me think outside the box.
Here’s my deets for the day….

Good luck on the 100 day yoga! Are you planning to do all of it from the Yoga Nidra CDs or will you be doing a mix with something else?
Great looking menu, keep up the good work 🙂

Thanks Erika!
I’m going to mix up my yoga challenge to include poses – but no set poses. Each day I’ll just let my mood dictate what I want to do for the poses….today I did standing poses, yesterday I did sitting ones. I’ll still do the daily meditation too…..I am really enjoying the meditation.
