Keeping the mind and body healthy at home with Yoga
With our movements limited in recent times, it can be easy to fall into a trap of not being very active. You may have dropped the Joe Wicks 9 am workout by now, and for a lot of people, a daily walk in the sunshine has become the new norm and a bit of a sanctuary, but is that enough?
One thing we have noticed is a number of our customers converting their garden rooms into make-shift yoga studios. Finding a bright space with some natural light is perfect for Yoga. It is an excellent way of resetting your body but also helping relax the mind.
We've scoured the internet for some people that can show you some of the moves to get to grips with. Don't be intimidated by the perfect figures and incredible core strength of these people, and Yoga is a very inclusive form of exercise. With regular practice, you should feel calmer, more flexible and stronger too.
Here are our top picks for easy to follow, tutorial-style online videos:
Adriene has something for everyone. You can search her channel from within YouTube if you want to find something for beginners or more advanced moves.
If Instagram is your favoured platform check out the following, who all have lots of videos showing you some key moves:
And if you have kids, these videos are gold. Mixing Yoga with a bit of storytelling helps keep the little ones occupied for a while, and you can even join in too!
Whatever you're doing at home or however you're using the space you have, keep active, keep healthy and stay safe.
