Ashtanga yoga was initially designed to be practiced six days per week<\/a>, so actually, it may well be more comfortable to take your practice home! It\u2019s unlikely that your local studio offers Ashtanga classes every day, and even if it does, that much studio attendance may be tricky to fit in around your schedule. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
All you need is a little commitment, preparation, and enough space for your yoga mat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read on for our best tips on how to practice Ashtanga yoga at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this post, we'll cover:<\/p>\n
Traditionally, Ashtanga yoga is supposed to be practiced early in the morning and with a plant-based diet. Why not go all in and commit to a full lifestyle makeover? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Practicing yoga, waking up early, and eating a plant-based diet are three things that will give you more energy, increase your productivity, and generally make you feel incredible. You might find that your daily Ashtanga yoga practice is easier to commit to when you complete it first thing in the morning, and your body will benefit hugely with a combination of daily yoga and a plant-based diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a look here <\/a>for some great tips on how to feel amazing during your morning practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try practicing yoga on an empty stomach and follow with a plant-based breakfast! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve already mentioned that Ashtanga yoga is designed to be practiced six days a week â it\u2019s a great idea to try and commit to that. Daily practice will help you improve, but it will enable you to memorize the flow in less time and make yoga a part of your daily routine that you genuinely don\u2019t want to miss! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Practicing yoga every day is one of the most effective ways to reap the benefits. Daily practice of yoga, in general, will lead to increased strength, greater flexibility, and an improvement in your mindset â the benefits<\/a> are endless! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a quick tidy of the room that you\u2019ll be using to practice before you start. There\u2019s nothing worse than muddy footprints, a pile of unwashed dishes, or general clutter to distract you from your yoga practice. This is especially true with more challenging yoga styles as, more often than not, we\u2019re looking for an excuse to stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That being said, a little mess can also be a great lesson in internalizing your focus and ignoring your environment. You might find that the more you practice, the less you need to clean your yoga space â though it\u2019s always motivating to have a reason to stay on top of housework! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
