A 7-Day Yoga Plan To Help Elevate Your Practice

Here, I've put together a guide to what a standard week might look like on my mat. Whether you're new to yoga or looking to add a bit more to your daily life, hopefully this seven-day guide will give you a bit of inspiration and help you piece together your own consistent practice.

I also like to incorporate an intention-setting flow into my Monday practice or on the first day of the month to help me create focus for the week or month ahead. 

I also try to do a gratitude practice every single day. My gratitude practice has changed my life in so many ways; it is truly one of the simplest yet most powerful paths to transformation.

Wednesdays are usually a really busy day for me with clients, so I'll usually do a quick meditation in the morning just to center my energy and mind. Then during my lunch break, I'll do a quick midday yoga flow to boost my metabolism, which keeps me going through the rest of my client sessions. 

After my busy day on Wednesday, I often start my Thursday with a short yoga flow for focus and balance, which helps me to re-center and start my day afresh. I practice restorative yoga almost every night, especially if I am really busy, to help me wind down before bed.

Some days, I'll simply do five sun salutations before I walk out the door. Sun salutations are a great way to center your focus, get your energy moving, and stretch out tired muscles in a pinch. At the end of the day on Friday, I like to do a deeper meditation to re-center myself. I love this 15-minute meditation to come back to yourself from my friend Susy Schieffelin.

On Saturday I usually take a rest day. You can do yoga every day, but remember that it's important to take breaks too! Too much of a good thing is well, a thing.

Over the weekend I like to get playful with my practice. I love acro yoga, or I'll play around with my handstand practice. Having an element of play is something that I work on with my clients a lot. It can be really empowering to not take things so seriously, to laugh and to try out new things during your yoga practice.
