Happy Rituals Become Habitual
(HRBH)

To pause more often through the day, just for a few minutes I found has enormous benefit for me. To relax and shift attention from the world to me alone; brief shots of self-attention do me good. I do whenever I remember to do it; usually in the office, but it can really be just anywhere. I stop doing things just for a few moments. HRBH brings awareness to my body and mind. The idea that I love myself and that I treat myself with love.

What I like best about the book is that it allows for me to do yoga at any time, when I am driving to and from work, sitting at my computer, cleaning the house, hanging out the washing, etc. The format of the book makes it easy to find whichever movement suits the situation at the time. The witty rhymes and short directions are useful, as they stick in my brain, and pop in at random times e.g. ribs away from hips. Since I have started using the book people have mentioned that my posture looks better (I have terrible posture) so that has been positive. The photographs are excellent and the personal advice about how you like to do the movements and when you do them is useful as it highlights opportunities to do these movements, which I wouldn’t think about. The book has helped me bring awareness to my body and not take it for granted. The next step for me will be to try and incorporate the relaxing poses more into my day. Overall, the HRBH book is an excellent, everyday tool to help create body awareness, and mindfulness.

This book really is about Everyday yoga. Even if you haven’t got time for a proper session these quick exercises can be incorporated into your day. Much of my workday is spent at a computer and I now have “Yoga Through My Day” alongside me to remind me to do some movement. The exercises are very compact, and you don’t look too crazy doing them at your desk! Try it- you’ll love it.

Aleksandra Tanasic’s ‘Happy Rituals Become Habitual’ is the size of a small desktop calendar, and so makes a perfect companion guide me through my daily yoga practice, wherever I may be. I usually practice yoga in my living room but have also taken this book with me on holidays, as it’s no hassle to pack it in my luggage and use it in hotel rooms, guest bedrooms, etc. I love that each pose comes with a photo of Aleks, a rhyme to remember it by, and an explanation of how the pose will benefit me, physically and emotionally. I wouldn’t be without it

This book is a small treasure – packed full of inspiration to help you integrate bite-sized portions of yoga into your day. I use it to help me take more (and better) breaks from the computer. The small size and spiral binding makes it easy to use – you can flip through the pages quickly to find something to try. Or follow the routines in order – whatever you feel like. Each set of poses can be done gently and easily, wherever you are. I like how Aleks’ character and sense of fun infuses the book – like the rhyming names and the intro photos..Aleks has a deep understanding of yoga and body movement; here she communicates her expertise in a way that’s easy to follow and learn from. I’d highly recommend trying this book throughout your day.
