Too busy to practice yoga this summer? 4 Easy ways to stay in shape

Set small goals. Sometimes we think because we haven’t done a huge workout that the day is a waste—but that’s not true. Even doing one or two yoga postures changes your breathing pattern and energy flow. Commit to doing at least one pose a day, no matter what.

Practice early. You are more likely to do something if you do it first thing. The longer you put it off, the more time you have to make up excuses not to practice.

Practice with a friend. This is a helpful technique to get you going—and it’s way more fun. You are less likely to cancel when you know someone is counting on you.

Start each day off with a tall glass of water. Our bodies respond to the first thing that is put in them, so fill your insides with something pure after waking up. Plus, drinking a full glass of water before each meal ensures that you don’t confuse thirst for hunger.
