Give yourself enough space and time to do yoga so you won’t be worried about other things while you practice.
One of the many beauties of yoga is that you can do it just about anywhere! If you want to start an at-home yoga practice, first make sure you have a quiet place to flow with plenty of space to move around.
Yoga is all about clearing your mind and focusing on you and your body, and you can’t fully commit to the practice if you don’t schedule it into your day.
Before you begin, ask yourself why you want to start doing yoga—what do you want to get out of your practice? Perhaps you want to get stronger, become more flexible, or ease anxiety.
There are many different styles of yoga that stem from various cultures and techniques; however, there are 8 yoga styles most commonly known today. Each style has unique benefits and levels of intensity, so pick the one that sounds the most fun and reflects your goal.
Starting a flow on your own may be difficult if this is your first time doing yoga, and that’s okay! Yoga instructors make follow-along video flows for this very reason. Simply sit down in your comfortable place on a yoga mat or laid-out towel and hit play.
