The secret you should know

Have you ever been late to yoga class and found that the studio doors were locked? 

If you're late to yoga class, you're most likely missing the teacher's introduction, intention, and theme for class. You're also probably carrying that rushed feeling and that rushed energy into yoga class. 

I once had a student come late to yoga class. She rushed in. The entire class, she felt that things weren't moving fast enough, and at the end, she skipped corpse pose. Because she was late to class, she was never able to come to a place where she could leave behind that rushed feeling and be present in class. 

When you're going to yoga class, allow yourself plenty of time so that you can leave behind your to do list, become present, and practice in an unhurried way. 

To help you do this, studios close the doors before class. 

This isn't just about studio classes.

You should allow yourself the same amount of time when you practice at home. 

Allow yourself plenty of time to put aside your to do list and be present on your mat. 

Let me know if you notice a difference when you allow yourself plenty of time before class to be present on your mat.
