Here at Shala Yoga, we want you to begin your yoga journey in the US as soon as you can, which is why in this blog, we’re going to help you start at home. If you’re eager to learn more, keep on reading!
Create a dedicated space
The first thing you need to do to begin your yoga journey is to create a dedicated space inside your home. This isn’t just to provide ample space for you to execute the different yoga poses as it also helps in putting your mind in the right place.
If you don’t have enough space to move around, you may find yourself too lazy to start your session in the first place. Moreover, having a dedicated space will make sure that you won’t bump into anything fragile that you may have displayed around your house such as vases, figures and statues.
Get all the necessary accessories
After building a yoga room inside your home, it’s time for you to gather all the necessary accessories you need. Luckily for you, these things won’t burn a hole in your pocket and they’re made with the best quality! Just make sure not to opt for the cheap ones that break after only a few uses.
Moreover, you won’t need much to complete your set as all you have to buy are the following:
- Yoga mat (non-slip)
- Yoga block
- Yoga strap
- Comfortable exercise clothes.
These things will help you with your yoga and you won’t have a hard time finding them inside athletic stores around the US so there’s no excuse not to get them! Lastly, we recommend getting the non-slip version of a yoga mat because you’ll get sweaty during this activity and you can’t risk slipping on the floor.
If you don’t want to spend extra money on a yoga block, you can find objects lying around your house that can serve the same purpose. For example, if you have books inside your home, you can stack them on top of each other and get the same effect.
Wear comfortable clothes
A huge mistake that people who are just starting with yoga is they don’t wear comfortable clothes. Some of the types of clothing that we recommend include gym attires, loose-fitting shirts and others that won’t restrict your movement.
Mobility is one of the most important things that you need to have in this exercise because the poses that you’ll make will be hard to execute and they require you to be at your most free state.
