Journaling can be a powerful tool to gain insight into your motivations and goals. Here are some prompts to help you explore why you might want to start a yoga practice and what benefits you could gain for your mind, body, and spirit:

1. What draws you to yoga? Is it the physical benefits, the mental calmness, the spiritual aspect, or something else entirely? Write down your initial thoughts and feelings.
2. How do you currently feel in your mind, body, and spirit? Are you experiencing any stress, tension, or discomfort? What areas could benefit from more attention and care?
3. What are some specific benefits of yoga that you would like to experience? For example, improved flexibility, reduced anxiety, increased mindfulness, or a stronger sense of self-awareness. Write down your top priorities.
4. How could a yoga practice fit into your current routine? What time of day would work best for you? Would you prefer to attend classes or practice at home? Consider any potential obstacles and how you can overcome them.
5. What fears or doubts do you have about starting a yoga practice? Are you worried about not being flexible enough, not having enough time, or feeling self-conscious in a class? Write down any concerns you have and try to reframe them in a positive light.

Remember that starting a yoga practice is a personal journey and there is no right or wrong way to approach it. By exploring your motivations and goals through journaling, you can gain greater clarity and confidence in your decision to start a yoga practice.

Wherever you are in your yoga journey, please know that I’d love to support you in making it a part of your weekly or daily routine!

With Warmth & Gratitude,
