10 Reasons To Try At Home Yoga For Beginners

Today I want to share with you 10 reasons for starting an at home yoga for beginners so you can be more relaxed.

Yoga has so many great benefits: it helps reduce stress, makes you more flexible and it can help you sleep better, etc.

Please note that this is a sponsored post by Yoga Download. So I’ll be sharing my insights about this wonderful website that can help you with your at home yoga practice.

All right, let’s get started!

1. Do it when it’s convenient

We are so busy all the time, that’s why sometimes it seems hard to carve a little time for ourselves. However, it’s very important to dedicate some time for our self-care every day, just so we can function better in our lives.

By practicing yoga at home, we get to decide when it’s the most convenient for us.

No need to check someones else’s calendar. I remember that there were some yoga classes that I wanted to try at my local yoga studio. However, they were either way too early or in the middle of the day.

With my at home yoga practice, I can decide when I get to do it and for how long. Some day it might be only 10 minutes others it might be an hour.

2. Can try different yoga styles

There are many yoga styles, that when you are beginning it’s hard to know where to start. No problem, our friends at Yoga Download have different programs to guide you when you are just beginning.

This is really important not just so you learn how to do different poses, but also to learn some common mistakes that some beginners might do that can later on cause pain from doing the poses incorrectly.

They have hundreds of videos and are always uploading new ones every week, so you are sure to be able to try new yoga styles all the time.

3. Learn yoga from various instructors

Every teacher has their own piece of wisdom to share with us. Even if we have learned something before, a new teacher can bring a new perspective or insight on how to do even the same yoga pose.

With different instructors to choose at Yoga Download, you will be able to learn more since you’ll be getting advice from a wide variety of experienced teachers.

4. Nobody likes commercials

Someone may say, but I can watch free videos on YouTube, and yes that’s true. What’s also true, it’s the commercials you’ll have to watch before, some times during and after the video.

I don’t know about you, but in the morning when I’m barely awake, the last thing I want to see is a bunch of images with people screaming (well maybe not screaming, but for some reason the volume on commercials tend to be way higher than the actual video) how I can become a millionaire, how they found a way to erase wrinkles, how to loose weight in a crazy amount of time, etc.

What’s worse, is when you are finally in a flow, and all of a sudden a commercial comes right in the middle of the teaching…usually when you are doing an awkward pose I may add.

5. Privacy when doing yoga

I think that privacy is a big one for many of us. When you are first starting out, it can be very challenging to do different poses.

For example if you are struggling with balance you can just go to a wall or grab a chair. If you fall down, no need to worry about landing on someone else in class.

There are also some poses that cause a lot of bending, don’t be surprise that you may let out some gas…not to worry if this happens when you are home by yourself…the dog won’t tell on you. 😉

Yoga pants can be very comfortable when doing yoga. It allows extra space and helps with bending. However, I always felt self conscious that some guy was going to be staring at my butt in class, at home no more worries.

Also, if you choose, you can wear panties with your yoga pants and not worry about showing panty lines…many usually wear thongs or just wear nothing under their yoga pants at a studio.

6. Save Gas with at home yoga for beginners

Not everyone is lucky to have a yoga studio nearby their homes. That means you’ll have to drive to a different part of town and spend more money on gas.

Also, depending where you are going (to a downtown studio for example), you may also need to pay for parking. Hopefully there is good weather and not a strong rainfall or snow falling.

7. Save Time

When you practice at home, you can literally roll out of bed and not get ready. Just put your hair on a ponytail, and change to something more comfortable if you choose to.

Just roll out your yoga mat and watch your favorite video.

8. No need to wear fancy outfits

At home you can just wear what ever is most comfortable. You can wear the same yoga pants (sweats or pajamas) 5 times in a row without feeling that you are being judge for wearing the same outfit again.

…I know that feeling from first experience. I went to a yoga studio to relax, and someone was looking at me from head to toe, almost to see if I was “worthy” to be there…You don’t need to put up with that nonsense at home.

9. Can download

With Yoga Download, as the name implies, you can download their videos. This is awesome!

Every day at different times people tend to be more on the internet than other times. This causes the internet to go more slow when more people are online at the same time.

Not so much fun when trying to do yoga. Once I was all excited that I was going to do my yoga routine, and then the video on Youtube was taking forever to load, I opened a new window and still the same problems. After several attempts of refreshing the page a lot of time has passed by, that I needed to go..no yoga that day.

When you download videos you can watch them without the internet at any time! In addition, if you want to go out to nature to a park, the mountains, beach etc. where there might be bad internet connection or no connection at all; you can still watch your favorite videos on your preferred devices.

10. Most likely to do it

I think that this is the most important point with the at home yoga for beginners. You are most likely to stick to your yoga practice if it’s convenient for you to do it from home.

Think about it:

• Don’t have to get ready
• No driving
• Can wear whatever your want without being judged
• There is no need to worry about being embarrassed
• Can download it and see it anywhere on your favorite devices
• Get a wide variety of poses and wisdom from different teachers

All of these reasons can really help when you are just starting out. The hardest part is not “learning”, but actually able to stick to it. With Yoga Download it makes is super easy and convenient to start your yoga practice and to continue doing it. In addition, the monthly prices are less than what just one class alone would cost at a yoga studio. They also offer a wide variety of different programs for beginners and other types of programs.

Conclusion

Yoga Download offer the opportunity to do at home yoga for beginners when it’s the most convenient for you. The fact that you can download videos makes it super handy, so you don’t have to rely on the internet connection. No more having to wait for a video to fully load in order to do your yoga practice or having to watch annoying commercials.

If you check out their websites, they have very affordable monthly plans, different programs (you can also gift them to someone else—talk about giving a very special gift to a loved one). They have a wide selection of very relaxing music and much more.

Enjoy your at home yoga practice. May you find the relaxation you have been looking for!
