How to set yourself up for a good at-home yoga practice

Practicing yoga at home has many benefits, including convenience. It is important to set up a calm, safe space for your practice.

Some tips to create a calm and mindful space include:

• Choose a room you can dedicate to your yoga practice, that is clutter free and free of work/reminders of work;
• Play relaxing music or create a “yoga playlist” to inspire you/motivate you;
• Make it a technology-free zone: remove distracting technology such as cell phones or blackberries;
• Another way to make the room peaceful is to have peaceful, soothing art or photographs on the walls
• Purify the air in the room using an air purifier and using scented candles or aromatic diffusers with essential oils
