Asana Kitchen: Tips for Sustaining a Home Yoga Practice with David Garrigues

www.davidgarrig...
I've been practicing alone for the past 20 years interspersed with visits to my teacher in Mysore, India, and so I know it can be challenging day after day to sustain a powerful sadhana home practice.
Over the years I have developed tips that have helped me sustain a home practice. I hope they help you too.
David Garrigues is one of the few teachers in the US certified to teach Ashtanga Yoga by the late world renowned yoga master Sri K Pattahbi Jois. As an Ashtanga Ambassador, he bases his teachings on the idea that 'Anyone can take practice,' a core idea in the teachings of Sri K Pattahbi Jois.
David's mission is to help others flourish within the contemporary lineage of Ashtanga Yoga. While staying true to the traditional teachings of Ashtanga, David is adept at adapting the practice to suit all levels of practitioner and make it accessible to everyone.

Precious n.10 tip, dear Teacher! Always thought I was a bad Ashtangi for it! Feeling relieved! :)

Very useful tips, thank you! Initially, the discipline of Ashtanga practice really helped me with the home practice (I didn't have to think about what to start with, the routine, etc), however now I do struggle with monotony (only at home) so it was interesting to me you mentioned that. What parts of the practice should keep the consistency and when can the variety come in (let's say there isn't much time on a particular morning but I want to focus on backbends)? Do you suggest keeping variety but once a week, do the full primary, or full intermediary?
