Practicing Yoga at Home

Thanks for your FAQ post on practicing yoga at home. I have a purely home practice now after two years in a studio because I moved somewhere with a yoga studio. I would absolutely second your thought on taking classes periodically. There would be no way that I could have started (and sustained) a home practice if I didn’t have a basic yoga background to begin with. I think it helps to be guided into a pose so you can know what poses are supposed to feel like when you’re on your own.

I’d also suggest scheduling your practice as if you were taking a class. This makes you less likely to blow it off or reschedule it for a later date (which might mean skipping it altogether).

I also leave my yoga mat out on my floor most of the time. This encourages me to come to my mat whenever I feel like it, even if it’s only for ten minutes. (This could apply to all yogis.)

Thanks again for the post. Tumblr has sort of replaced the yoga community I had to leave behind.

Oh yeah! Great suggestions! I would definitely need to schedule my at home practices.
