Preparing to start yoga at home

Preparing to start yoga at home

Apr 06,2022

One of the best things about yoga is that you can practice it anywhere. In group classes, you can benefit from teacher guidance and feedback, as well as a sense of community, but these classes can cost more and don't always fit your schedule.

 

You can always do yoga at home at a more affordable price. However, this flexibility can be a stumbling block. Finding a practice routine that works for you and scheduling it on time is the key to sticking with it. Here's what you need to clear the block and start your home practice.

 

How to practice videos at home

Lessons led by video follow-through can provide structure and motivation to your budding home practice. There was a time when people bought yoga DVDs (even VHS tapes!) and the same procedures over and over. The internet solved this tedium by bringing tons of yoga videos directly to our phones and laptops.

 

The major web-based yoga video platforms (search for "online yoga classes" to find them) all follow a similar model. Their roster of teachers creates courses of varying styles, lengths and intensities that are updated frequently so there is always something new to try. Most of these platforms offer free trials, so shop around until you find one you like. Once you're settled on a site, expect to pay around $15-20 per month, which is about the cost of a studio course.

 

If you want to spend less money (like nothing), search YouTube for "yoga classes" to get many free products including full classes and tons of pose tutorials that can really help you build a good alignment habit. These can vary in quality (they're free, after all), so also check your trusted yoga site when you have questions about an unfamiliar pose.

 

Or no video

You can also create your own routines or repeat sequences you complete in class. If you have more yoga experience, try a challenging pose, or allow your body to move intuitively after warming up with a sun salutation. The more yoga you do, the easier it is, so even if you plan to do most of it at home, taking the occasional real-life class for inspiration and alignment can help you immeasurably.

 

When to practice

While being able to do yoga anytime is one of the advantages of a home practice, this freewheeling approach doesn't always work, despite your best intentions. Schedule your mat time so it doesn't end up at the bottom of your to-do list. It doesn't have to be at the same time every day, but if you want to practice regularly, don't take your chances.

 

TIP: If you usually have an hour-long class in the studio, you can get almost as many asanas in a 45-minute or even 30-minute video class, because the studio class usually starts a few minutes later for chanting and dharma A speech begins, or a meditation, ends in the same way. Video lessons often go straight to the point.

 

Where to practice

Don't let the lack of a dedicated yoga space keep you from practicing at home. Of course, it would be nice to have a pristine room with natural light, away from home and street noise, but all you really need is a 185cm x 68cm space for your cushions. In life, we often don't have the ideal conditions to solve our problems and deal with our stressors. Being able to focus on your inner work rather than your outer environment is a good habit to live off the mat.

 

Tip: If you find yourself near a wall, incorporate this into your practice to support the balance pose.

 

Home Yoga for Beginners:

If you are new to yoga or have only taken a few classes, look for the beginner series on one of the major platforms. Signing up for a series ensures you'll be on your mat regularly and get the basic info all newbies need.

 

Basic household equipment

A secondpagesport wholesale yoga mats is the main piece of equipment you need. While it's tempting to choose the cheapest option, there are plenty of reasons not to. Inexpensive PVC pads are slippery, and they are not biodegradable. Not surprisingly, we recommend an eco-friendly yoga mat with a super-grip practice surface and intuitive alignment guides etched into the mat. The alignment guide is great for home practice because it helps you translate the instructions you hear into your body's movements.
