What to do while traveling...

This is always difficult. When and how do you fit in a yoga practice when you are away on business....

You need to invest in a nice, thin, lightweight mat if you are planning on doing something asana related in your hotel room. Otherwise, most studios rent yoga mats.

If you can't fit in a physical practice, you can fit in a seated meditation practice. Sit anywhere you find space- even the chair in your hotel room. Sit tall. Ground through the sit bones. Breathe. If you want to, work with the ujayi breath first. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth as though you were fogging a mirror. Once you feel the vibration and get in touch with the sound of the breath, close your mouth and breathe in and out through the nose. Be here and feel that tidal quality of the breath. This is pranayama- or breath work.

From the pranayama, mediation evolves. Quiet the breath to your normal breath pattern. Let go of your mental and physical control of the breath. Become a witness to whatever arises without judgement. This is the mindfulness- coming back, over and over to the tether of the breath.

Enjoy, even if you have business meetings all day long, you can find your tall straight spine, drop into your breath and be present.--Charry
