Practicing yoga at home

Many folks wonder about starting a yoga practice at home and look for info to get you going. It is actually very easy. Remember though, the only right practice is regular practice! Don’t let your want for perfectionism get in your way. Just show up at your mat and practice. Get your Wailana Yoga Kit out and get started on a life-long journey of yoga.

Environment

The space should be quiet, and ideally used only for yoga. ( could be a section of any room ) You can use a mat, blanket, or towel to stand on. Keep the room’s temperature just right – not so cold and not too hot. Practicing in a well-ventilated room with unpolluted air but not breezy or cold. Sunrise and sundown are fascinating times for yoga ( though any time works )

Preparation

Wear light comfortable clothing. What you wear should not get in your way of doing the asanas correctly or to the best of your ability and should be comfortable. Having a warm shower before your yoga class is beneficial for limberness -wait at least 20 minutes after practicing before bathing ) In the morning wash, urinate and move the guts before practice. Practice before eating or wait at least two hours after eating.

Starting practice

Don’t practice if there is a fever or deep injuries. Pop in your Easy Wai Lana Yoga DVD or Tape and enjoy your practice. You probably didn’t think it would be that easy!. Listen to your body and listen to Wailana.

{How frequently to practice}

The guideline for how often to practice is easy : it’s far better to practice for short durations continually than to practice once a week for a long time. In other words it’s better to practice 4 times a week even just for ten to thirty minutes. Doing a yoga DVD of Wailana gives you about 30 minutes practice though. And you will be sure to have worked your whole body! No need to worry about it.

Set aside some time

With that being said some people get what they need from practicing just a couple of times every week while other practice five or six times a week. It varies from person to person. About though you’ll get the most benefit from practicing yoga if you have at least 4 sessions per week. The length of time of each session depends on your experience with yoga, time restrictions, level of fitness, and motivation. A good idea is to have a book to keep control of your practice with information like date, what you did, and what you enjoyed. After a while you’ll feel so good you won’t want to skip a day of yoga practice.
