Tips for your perfect yoga @home

Sometimes the best place to be is at home, don't you think? And one of the best things can be to do your workout or yoga session at home. Find out how you can prepare perfectly for this in today's blog post.

 

Find your space

You don't need much space at all; a quiet, bright and well-ventilated room or a separate corner is ideal. This will allow you to fully prepare for your session. If you have enough space, set it up as your personal yoga space. Keep it simple or add a few utensils, just as you like. It is the space where you simply feel comfortable, your holy space.

Utensils

The most important piece of equipment is, of course, your yoga mat. Only use natural materials, this is often overlooked, but you are in constant contact with your mat and it should support you in your flow. You will feel much better on a natural mat and can perform your exercises with full energy. 
A cork yoga block can help you with simple and complex asanas.

Add a blanket or towel if necessary.

Plan the session firmly

The yoga session is an appointment with yourself! We humans are all different. For some, early morning is the best time to start the day full of energy, for others it's after work, as soon as everything is done. Whenever it is, make sure you schedule the session - no excuses! And practise regularly, this has the greatest effect.

It's easier with rituals

Things that we are used to come very easily to us. Develop your own yoga ritual so that going to the yoga mat becomes normal for you. Rituals can take many forms: a conscious smile, a mindfulness breakfast or breathing exercises. Find your own ritual.

Find your style

At home, you are completely free to choose the exercises you want to do. If you already have experience, you can think carefully about which exercises you want to do beforehand.
There are great free offers on YouTube and on social media, get ideas there or do a whole session with them. 

The most important thing is that you adapt to your needs. Then you will easily develop your own personal style.

Enjoy 😉

Enjoy the time on your yoga mat, as already mentioned, it is your holy space from which you can draw energy. End your yoga session with a ritual and reward yourself. This could be conscious meditation, a drink (how about a delicious smoothie or your favorite tea?) or keeping a yoga journal and writing down your feelings about the yoga session.
