Have you noticed how alive and relaxed you feel after your yoga class? If you look around the studio, you will notice how calm, soft and radiant your fellow yoga students look.
Regular practice is the key to a long and healthy post yogic glow. However, even with the best will in the world, it can be difficult for you to keep up with attending more than one class a week as home and work commitments, travel and cost of attending all add up and get in the way of regular practice.
One way around this is to set up a yoga home practice. There are many benefits from practicing at home. Here are six of the more popular benefits.
Six Simple Benefits from Practicing Yoga at Home
1. You can practice at a time that is convenient to you. You may be an early riser and find 20 minutes of yoga and/or meditation is all you need to energise and prepare you for the day. Alternatively, an evening practice allows you to gently unwind and release the build up of tension in your body so you get a good night's sleep.
2. You can practice a new pose in your own time. Your yoga teacher may have introduced a new yoga pose and you want to spend more time exploring and working with that pose. In a class setting that may not be possible. However at home you can practice and go deeper into new or existing poses.
3. You can experiment with poses. The beauty of yoga is it allows you scope to explore and become aware of your body. When you practice at home, away from the eyes of others, you may feel more able to relax deeply into a pose. The deeper and longer you spend in a pose, the more aligned and expansive you become.
4. You can encourage other family members to join you. Your partner may wish to accompany you to yoga, or join a class of his own. If your partner sees you practice at home, he can get an idea of what is involved. People have lots of unusual ideas regarding yoga, so by observing how you practice gives your partner a better insight.
5. If you have children, practicing yoga is the best way to introduce your child to yoga. They may not understand or take up yoga. But the mere fact they see you meditating or practicing has a positive impact on them.
6. If you feel tired or stressed during the day, whether at home or at work, a few minutes of gentle yoga stretches will revive and perk up your spirits. This helps you to concentrate and focus better at work and at home can diffuse a potential domestic argument.
Practicing yoga at home adds another dimension to your yoga journey. Your health improves, you feel more alive, energised and in control of your health and personal wellbeing - best of all, you have that post yogic glow which makes you look and feel younger and radiant.
