Home Yogi.

If you don’t have time to go a yoga studio we have a solution for you! You can experience yoga right at your own home.  I personally know sometimes it’s hard to leave your house to make it to your favorite yoga class. Also some yoga studios are too expensive.  PopSugar provide some tips on how you can practice inner yogi at home. 

Start slow: There's no need to dive into a 45-minute sequence from the get-go; start with just 15 or 20 minutes when creating your home practice. You'll be more likely to stay committed to your new routine if the length of your practice doesn't seem so daunting. Get started with our 20-minute total-body yoga sequence.
Timing's everything: Every day, do your best to hit your mat at the same time. Whether it's first thing in the morning or once you're home from work, a stable routine will train your mind to crave a regular practice time. You also won't have the excuse about where to find the time to practice if it's seamlessly built into your busy schedule.
Pick poses wisely: A great yoga teacher once told me to choose two poses I love and one I hate when building a practice at home. The ones you love will have you feeling confident and graceful, but the ones we hate are the ones our bodies need the most!
Create a sacred space: Make a sweet home for your practice. Whether it's a corner of your bedroom, a section on your living room floor, or even your back porch, find a place where you'll have ample room for your mat and for fluid movement. Consider lighting a candle or two to kick up the ambience a notch.

Have the essentials on hand: Whether you're a beginner or an advanced yogi, watch this video to learn all about the essential tools for yoga you should have at home. In addition to the quality DVDs we suggest, try out our 10-minute yoga sequences from YogaWorks and Jennifer Aniston's yoga teacher Mandy Ingber or this flat-belly yoga sequence from Travis Eliot to complement your practice and offer the instruction you need.
