You can definitely do yoga anywhere in your home (or office) at any time, but it is often easier to motivate yourself when you have a dedicated yoga at home space.

Tips for Setting Up Your Yoga at Home Space

The good news is that you don’t need a lot of space in order to create a yoga area in your home. Here are some different ideas.

Good Spaces for Doing Yoga at Home

To start with, choose a good room in your house for setting up your home yoga space. If there is any way you can use a room with a door to close off the room when you are doing yoga, that might be preferred. You don’t necessarily need complete silence like with meditation or journaling, but it is good to minimize distractions as much as possible.

The living room is a good spot if you have enough free space, or can move furniture out of the way quickly and easily. Find a corner that allows you to store yoga accessories like a mat and blocks. Your bedroom is great when you need more privacy, though consider how much room you have. Another option might be a den or basement.

What You Need in the Yoga Space

This will be up to you and whether or not you are including a lot of accessories with your yoga practice. For home yoga, you will probably either do it with online classes, or by using a book or DVD, so make sure these electronics are close by. You will need a yoga mat in most cases, and might have tools like blocks or wheels. Other accessories might include candles or essential oil diffuser, or perhaps your yoga attire.

More Tips for Setting Up Your Space

Here are a few more things you can do when you are setting up a yoga space in your home.

Choose the right colors – Yoga is a relaxing activity and one that should not have too much outside stimulation or distraction. Bright and bold colors are great for décor, but might not be great when getting into a fully relaxed state during yoga. Try to choose an area with lighter and more neutral colors, like lighter shades of blue, green, purple, soft yellows, and neutral tones like grey and white.

Have it ready to go – If you want to be more encouraged to do yoga regularly, always have the yoga space set up and ready to go for your next session.

Reduce clutter – It is really helpful to have a clean and organized yoga space without a lot of clutter. If you constantly have to remove clutter, you are much less inclined to do yoga regularly.
