Home yoga practice
'Tis the season to be a little more persnickety because you're stuck at a relatives house and either don't have the time or the space to move your body.
A few suggestions:
1) Sit your tuchis (yiddish= behind) on the guest bed or couch that you are currently inhabiting and breathe. Take a couple deep breathes right now, in fact. Ahhh... much better, no? Now, imagine how much better you'll feel if you do that for 5-30 minutes in a dark room with your eyes closed. Yes, someone might knock on the door and require something of you, but you'll be much more amenable to the intrusion after a wee meditation break.
2) World's quickest yoga practice, no mat required.
Happy holidays!
