After starting back at school, I have found myself drifting further and further from my once regular yoga routine. It's really frustrating, because I thoroughly enjoying doing it everyday. One major reason why I have fallen so out of it is school. I would previously practice yoga every morning after waking up, however as that time has gone back to being extremely early I can't motivate myself to do it. I have also discovered that once you stop practicing yoga regularly, it gets harder and harder to get back into it, I don't know why that is, but I don't like it!

Anyway, I'm going to try and set a time after school in-between school work to do it, and I really hope it works. Especially as I find it much harder to get into downward dog and all the other difficult stretches after taking a break ahhh.... wish me luck!

School doesn't mean you have to stop

I remember hearing or reading something from somewhere that said: If you don't have enough time for yoga, there is all the more need for you to actually do it. For some reason I always come back to this when I procrastinate about doing yoga. 

After starting back in my final year of school, I am realising that there is a huge benefit to doing yoga during the stressful time. It actually proves to make me more efficient and help me seize the day, as it helps to relax me and therefore take off some of the stress.

Here are a few pictures I've found from around the web. They are extremely cute, but they also offer some inspirational yoga poses or are just plain adorable. 

And lastly a nighttime routine: 

Quick health fixes

Recently I have been extremely busy doing things that are not blog or yoga related, which is really unfortunate considering that I was getting into such an amazing routine which I have previously documented. Sometimes other things are more important, however I am still trying to maintain aspects of a healthy lifestyle. 

Here are a few things that you can do to still stay healthy even when travelling or finding yourself too busy! Some of these things may be inspired by previous posts, but these things are so important enough cannot be said about them....

Drinking lots of water

I'm trying to drink at least 2 litres a day, which is the recommended amount of water. I also find that there is actually a noticeable difference in how I feel and how my skin feels. Recently I've been seeing these gorgeous water bottles everywhere from the brand Bkr; they're like the Queens of classy water bottles!

Eating lots of fruit (And veg)

Even if it means getting my 5 a day from a smoothie or tub of fruit or veg, it's definitely extremely important to maintain a balanced diet, even away from home it's actually rather easy to squeeze in those 5 fruits or vegetables. 

Walking

Walking is a really good way to fit in that exercise, when it becomes impossible to squeeze in a 20 minute yoga session, or if there simply aren't the facilities. You can breathe in the fresh air, work up a small sweat (If walking fast enough) but also get where you need to go, killing to birds with one stone!
