These tips can help you create a space that’s equal parts motivating and meditative.
Gather up your potted plants and arrange them around your yoga space to bring a bit of nature into your practice. This can help you feel more grounded before you even begin.
If there are distractions in your yoga zone, take a few minutes to clear away any clutter or other items that might distract you during your flow. Think: your laundry basket or that stack of mail.
If you’re using your TV, computer, or phone to take a class on the Peloton App, make that the only electronic device that’s powered on while you’re practicing yoga. This will help preserve the sanctity of your yoga space and allow you to treat your at-home practice seriously.
Keep a comfortable pillow to sit on or place behind your back or under your knees for optimum comfort during meditation and savasana. You may also want a blanket, socks, or a light sweater to throw on during savasana as your body begins to cool down.
Keep artificial light at a minimum during your practice, which can throw off your relaxation. If you don’t have natural light or are practicing in the evening, you can light some candles, use soft lighting, or even plug in a salt lamp.
