119: All About My Morning Routine (And Suggestions For Yours!)
I feel a little shy sharing this intimate view of my morning practice, but when I asked y’all if this topic was of interest I heard a resounding YES. As yoga teachers I think it is important that we make time to engage with our practice and take good care of ourselves so we can be of service to our students and communities.
But like, WHEN ARE WE SUPPOSED TO MAKE TIME FOR THAT?
Life is so full for many of us. We have work and caretaking responsibilities that fill every waking hour (and some of the sleeping ones...). Before the birth of my son I had a two hour morning routine that I did every work day, even though most days I started teaching at 7am. After the arrival of my son in spring of 2022, the availability of that morning time totally disappeared.
But after more than a year in this new life, and after lots of trial and error, I have found a way to have a morning routine that sets me up to be the best teacher and parent I can be. It took me a while to figure out how to manage it, but I feel really good about where I’ve landed and I’m excited to share it with all of you!
In this episode you’ll hear:
some questions to ask yourself when thinking about your own morning routine
the purpose of my morning routine
all seven things I’d like to do every day
how I manage the morning routine even with unpredictable baby sleep schedules
