Continuing the journey - my personal sadhana

So it's official - I'm done and the teacher training journey is over, at least the official part with all the requirements, readings, practice teachings etc etc. So maybe at some point you'll read some travel tales here again ;-) In fact I'm planning a few weekend trips for the next few weeks.
Yet, I'm definitely still infected with the yoga bug although it does feel good to be able to think about some other things for a change...
I do want to continue to practice and learn and get inspired so I'll definitely still come to the studio but more importantly, I am starting to craft my own practice in something that is called, our personal sahana. Basically what it means is that we look at ourselves as our first private client and decide what kind of asana, pranayama and meditation techniques we could benefit from and put together a daily routine for ourselves, continuing on the path that we have chosen, for instance based on the chakra system.

It has been quite obvious to me that my third chakra needs some work or rather that I can start bringing more energy into the manipura, the solar plexus chakra, associated with our own will and decision making powers. I want to be able to take decisions, stick to them and not start doubting myself after a few minutes, changing my mind again and again. I believe in the ayurvedic tradition this is also associated with an excess in vata in the body. So how do I  devaterize myself? I think one of the most important things for me is a regular routine and sticking to it which is why I will continue my early morning pranayama and meditation practice, followed by 108 core cultivations. I can't really bring myself to commit to a full practice in the morning but maybe that will be something to work towards throughout the coming months. Other areas I'd really like to explore is going deeper into arm balances and inversions- both of which require an amazing amount of core strength which I am working towards. But I need to be careful not to get too worked up about these postures when in fact they are just a means to get to stillness. One of my teachers told us that the real challenge starts when you are injured and can't really practice asana - that's when you are forced to stay with the meditation and pranayama which can be just as powerful if not more so. Anyway, I am teaching at work every week now and loving it. Guess what the theme for next week is? The manipura chakra and working our core - will be great fun I'm sure.
