Yoga At Home

Don't be harsh on yourself about doing Yoga at home - it can be difficult to find time (and a quiet place). Try doing a session every 2 or 3 days if possible, but try not to let it become a chore. It should be enjoyable.

If you don't have much time, you might just do a few sun salutes, or you could try a bit of breathing (e.g. counting the breath) on a bus or in a traffic jam. Walking can also be done with a regular breath pattern.

If you are doing a longer session (provided above), here are some tips:

• Try to avoid distractions if possible (turn phone off...)
• Try to wait at least 2 hours after a meal if possible.
• Use a non-slip yoga mat, bare feet.
• If a posture feels wrong or painful, omit.
• Don't omit relaxing, even if you omit some poses.
• Hold each pose for around 10 breaths (or more) on each side.
• At any time, feel free to rest, to do child pose, or hug knees to chest on back.
