Just me and my mat
Self practice is when we take the time on our mat, with ourselves, to practice yoga and explore our body and consciousness. Side by side to our yoga classes it is most valuable not only for consolidation of learned knowledge and personalization of it but also for experimentation. It is when thinking becomes feeling. An opportunity to be our own guides on the path of yoga and in this sense it connects our practice to our heart.
