I recently began a 200 hour certification course to become a yoga teacher! One of my assignments is to begin a home practice, speaking out loud while practicing in order to get used to instructing others through asanas. After all, this is what a yoga teacher does...
However, I have found starting a home practice an extremely challenging feat, as my practice thus far has been only at a studio within the confines of a group dynamic. It is taking some discipline to set aside the time to construct a flow of asanas and roll through them in a meaningful way while speaking it out loud to an empty room :) This is why I constructed a yoga altar - to help me break through this resistance. Here is my creation, I am quite pleased with it:
I also added the most powerful Lord Ganesh to my altar...
This idea of "breaking barriers" made me think of Lord Ganesh, the vedic diety responsible for breakthroughs, learning, new beginnings, and removing obstacles from our path. I had purchased this small painting done by an amazing local artist and yogi Laura Blakenship at LAMB Fine Art. Check out her Instagram page for more of her wonderous and inspiring art:

Since beginning yoga teacher training, I have been searching for a way to make this assignment more enjoyable, something I feel called naturally to do. I wanted to set an intention that would call me forth to follow through, at least 6 days a week. By making this fun and inviting instead of another "have to" on a to do list, I am now feeling called to my home practice! Here is the intention I used to create my yoga altar:
I added some fresh flowers, crystals, tarot cards, and even a crystal grid to solidify my energy - lots of Earth references here! I also decided to spark my home practice by incorporating the element of fire in the form of candlelight because let's face it - yoga by candlelight is much more inviting and mystical. I will be documenting my transformation through this yoga teacher training on my You Tube channel found here:
