How to create your yoga routine at home?

Follow these steps to establish a yoga routine that works for you:

  1. Define your goals:

What are you looking for in yoga practice? To improve your flexibility, your muscle tone, or rather to relax and manage your stress? Having your goals in mind will help you choose the types of yoga and postures that suit you.

  1. Choose your space:

Find a quiet, open space to practice your poses. A yoga mat is essential, but you can also use a thick blanket.

  1. Select resources:

There are many online and offline resources that can guide you: YouTube videos, mobile apps, yoga books for beginners. Don't hesitate to explore different options to find the ones that appeal to you the most.

  1. Start slowly:

It is important to progress at your own pace, especially if you are a beginner. Start with short sessions (10-15 minutes) and gradually increase the duration. Choose sequences for beginners and do not hesitate to take breaks if necessary.

  1. Listen to your body:

Yoga should never be a source of pain. Respect your limits and adapt the postures to your feelings. Don't hesitate to modify the movements or use accessories to support you.

  1. Be regular:

The key to success is consistency. Try to practice at least 2-3 times a week, ideally at the same time each day, to create a routine.

  1. Vary the pleasures:

Yoga offers a multitude of styles and sequences. Don't hesitate to explore different approaches to discover the one that suits you best and maintain your motivation. Don't hesitate to also combine this with studio practices like those offered by Relais Yoga to multiply the benefits.

  1. Enjoy the moment:

Yoga is above all a practice of listening to yourself. Focus on your breathing, your sensations and let yourself be guided by the present moment.
