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
