Steps to Set Up an At-Home Yoga Practice
Designate Your Space:
Choose a quiet, clutter-free area in your home where you can lay out your mat and move freely. This space should be inviting and solely dedicated to your practice.
Gather Your Equipment:
Basic equipment includes a yoga mat, blocks, hand weights, a blanket and a bolster depending on the types of classes you are doing. These tools can help enhance your practice and make poses more accessible or more challenging.
Set a Schedule:
Consistency is key. Decide on a regular time each day to practice, whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening. Treat this time as a non-negotiable appointment with yourself.
Create a Playlist:
Music can enhance your practice. Create a playlist of calming tunes or energizing music to match the top of class you are taking. If you prefer to practice in silence, that is ok too!
Follow a Routine:
Decide on the type of yoga you want to practice—be it Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Strength or Kundalini—and follow a structured routine. This can be a set sequence or a varied plan each day.
The Yogi Institute schedule is designed to create a balanced weekly practice bring in classes for mobility/flexibility (Monday Vinyasa), emotional/spiritual transformation (Tuesday Kundalini), stress management/relaxation (Wednesday Restorative), strength/toning (Thursday Strength) and mental/physical stillness (Yin Friday).
When you commit to this schedule you can trust that you are creating total wellbeing.
Incorporate Meditation:
End your practice with a few minutes of meditation to center yourself and absorb the benefits of your session. Every Yogi Institute class ends in savasana which is a 3 minute rest/meditation/reflection. Know taht you can always extend your savasana if you choose.
Stay Inspired:
Keep your practice fresh by exploring new poses, sequences, or styles. This is where an on-demand library can be incredibly beneficial.
