Why You Should (Also) Be Doing Yoga At Home

There is no best option to do yoga, both home and studio practices are amazing, people should commit to what suits them most. Obligations like family, work, friends, and frequently internal struggles like shyness and anxiety and many other issues can prevent people from visiting a yoga studio. Combination of home and studio yoga practices is probably the best option. Home sessions could be good way to make the most out of your classes. It would be amazing if you can ask instructor for some tips, and then practice and improve more at home.

Doing yoga at home might sound scary to some people accustomed to a studio yoga practice, but starting on your own might get quite interesting, and you'll eventually grow accustomed to it, no matter how passionate you were about studios and instructors. There's no need to worry about having a lengthy practice every day or trying to do elaborate sequencing like it's done in classes. It's important only to really want yoga in your life.

A lot of people either practice yoga at a studio or don’t practice at all. It's extremely important to find balance and be a yogi everywhere, in the comfort of your own home, as in group classes with a good professional teacher. In fact, you can't call yourself yogi and only settle for one place; the whole world needs to be your yoga studio. Challenge yourself — if you are someone who's been practicing at home, sign up to a yoga studio. Also, if you practice in a studio — try devoting some of your spare time at home to yoga. If you're new to all of this, pick either way, you won't regret.

READ Yoga and Spiritual Awareness

For all of you who will decide to enroll in studio classes — let the instructor know you're new, and let them guide you through something wonderful. Then try incorporating what you've learned to a private home practice. If you decide to do it at home first, please read a lot about positions, watch online videos explaining them, and be safe. Doing yoga cannot hurt you badly, but sprains and strains happen often. There are many 30-day programs that you can try for free. By doing yoga day by day at the same spot, you will become more aware, noticing how the light changes in different seasons, and how your mind feels differently on different days. Acquiring this awareness can promote you to become your own and best teacher.

Whichever option you choose, good luck and namaste!
