Where? Chair, cushion, on the ground, in your car while waiting her your kid’s soccer practice to end—these are all ideal places. Some – people prefer a special tranquil place in their homes, away from the daily hustle and bustle. Others ae fine with shutting the office door and taking the phone off the hook. The goal is to make yourself comfortable so you won’t be distracted, say Foust. (take a seat, sidebar).
Just as yoga is more powerful in a group setting, so is your meditation. Seek out a meditation group, or ask your fellow yogis if they’d like to start one, says Foust. A regular group offers structure to help stay motivated. It’s like having a personal trainer. If you have a set date, you’re more likely to show up. Plus, you’re with people with similar aspirations.
When? Anytime that’s good for you. Some people enjoy the mornings, while others opt for the end of the day. Foust’s suggestion. Try mornings at first. This is when your mind is most alert, he says. Another ideal time is right after your yoga practice. You are relaxed, your previously congested energy is released, your mind is calm and open and your body has already sensitized to the breath, says Foust. Don’t be in a rush to roll up your mat and find your shoes. Take a few minutes to sit with your thought.
