I have noticed that it is quite hard for me to keep up with the yoga practice while traveling. I have read about airplane yoga where you do asanas while being seated. You are thousands of feet in the air, your neighbors are watching a movie or leaning on your seat. You are trying to get some stretches and taking in deep breaths to keep your cool. Add in some more standing stretches and sirsasana without causing a spectacle while waiting in the baggage claim to relieve some tension and to feel energized.
Besides that, I would like to know how to keep up once you are at the destination without sounding freaky, obsessed with the practice that you cannot survive without it. Most of the time I travel with people that are not inclined to do yoga. Sometimes it is hard to be motivated to roll out the mat and do even a few asanas, it could be the jet lag or just being lazy, lethargic, sluggish or it could be the lack of time.
I am wondering how my fellow yogis keep themselves motivated to practice yoga on the go. Got inspiration?

I find that doing my practice first thing in the morning (right after starting the coffee pot!) keeps me in the habit no matter where I am. This has led to me waking up earlier too. Sun salutations with the rising sun are really worth the early rising.
Yeah, good idea!
I came across a link that says students can have their yoga classes on their phones from their favorite teachers, live! This is a variation of playing a CD or a dvd from your teacher. You have them live on the phone! Read more on this here.
