Doing home yoga practice can be deeply rewarding, offering flexibility and consistency in your routine. Here’s how to set up a sustainable and effective practice:

1. Set Your Intention

Decide why you want to practice yoga whether it’s for stress relief, flexibility, strength or mindfulness. Your intention will guide your practice and keep you motivate.

2. Choose a Dedicated Space

Find a quiet, clutter-free area with enough room o move freely. Ideally, it should be a peaceful space where you won’t be disturbed.

3. Gather Essential Props

At a minimum, you need a yoga mat. Depending on your practice, you may also use blocks, a strap, blankets or a bolster for support.

4. Select a Routine or Sequence

Beginners: Start with a basic sequence such as gentle flow.
Intermediate/Advanced: Design your own sequence or follow an online class.
Restorative: Focus on long holds with props for deep relaxation.

5. Decide on Timing and Frequency

Consistency matters more than duration. Even 10-15 minutes daily is beneficial. Choose a time that fits your schedule -morning for energy, evening for relaxation.

6. Use Online Resources (If needed)

If you are unsure where to start, follow guide classes “The Viksit Jivan” Yoga Centre, YouTube, online platforms until you feel confident creating you own flow.

7. Incorporate Breathwork & Meditation

Breathing techniques(pranayama) and meditation enhance your yoga practice, promoting relaxation and focus. Consider ending your session with a few minutes of deep breathing or mindfulness.

8. Listen to your Body

Modify poses as needed and avoid pushing through pain. Yoga is about connection, not competition.

9. Track your Progress

Journaling your experiences or setting small goals (e.g.: improving flexibility, holding a pose longer) can help you stay committed.

10. Make it Enjoyable

Play soft music, light a candle or practice in natural light-whatever makes your yoga practice feel inviting.
