Hi everyone,
I’ve recently started getting into yoga and I’m trying to build a simple routine I can stick with daily. There’s so much information out there that it’s a bit overwhelming, especially as a beginner.
What kind of yoga routine helped you stay consistent when you were starting out? Do you recommend short daily sessions or a few longer ones each week? Also, any tips for staying motivated and avoiding common beginner mistakes?
hi zenova, i really benefitted from choosing a few of the beginner challenges/series. it gave me a curated experience at my level and introduced me to different yoga teachers and styles and gives you a focus on various body parts. i have a 3-day-a-week practice; ok to take a day off as part of consistency too. strap, blocks, props: worthwhile! good luck.
Getting into a routine is so great, over time the routine maintains the practice when motivation dissipates. I like choosing a challenge or series so that you don’t have to decide what you are doing, but just when you are doing it. I like to practice in the morning before things can pop up unexpectedly in the day and prevent me from making it on to my mat. That is also when I have the most energy. That is of course different for everyone. So when do you have energy, and when could you consistently carve our time to pracitce?
