‘How can I do Yoga at home?’ many of us have been wondering, with the worldwide lock downs.

While there is no substitute as good as a class in the Yoga studio, a home yoga practice can help you create an intimate connection with yourself. It does require a resolve and some self-discipline, to be honest.

It’s easier to stick to it when you have a teacher watching over you and guiding you to a yoga sequence/flow. If you find it difficult to schedule time for yoga, probably an online closed group class is your best bet.

‘Space’ is one of the main reasons why people don’t practice Yoga from home

Trust us, its not that difficult to shift some things around the house and create a welcoming vibe that will keep you coming back to the mat.

Setting up a yoga nook for yourself goes a long way.

Tips for Home Yoga practice

Here are some tips and tricks from yoga practitioners and teachers, who’ve managed to set up a Home yoga practice effectively:

• Pick a room/area of the house that is relatively away from noise and distractions.
• Choosing an area that is exposed to sunlight, and has ample airflow is important; hence a balcony is ideal.
• De-clutter the space – Keep only what’s essential to your practice. This will help you focus as well as keep you from bumping into things when you stretch.
• Spruce up the area with some small air purifying plants like palm and snake plant.
• Light up an incense stick or diya with your preferred essential oil
• Remove devices like computers, mobile phones from this room, you anyway wont need them when you are practicing. If you want to keep track of time, put up a wall clock or a small table clock on the side.
• Keep your mat rolled out in this space, it helps on the days you’re being lazy.

We hope these these tips help you with a sound and regular Home yoga practice.
