1. be aware of why you want to do yoga at home

Ask yourself the following questions (several answers are possible)

- Do you feel overwhelmed, sleep badly and overreact?
- Are you listless, don't feel like doing anything and have a dull complexion?
- Are you unfocused, restless and feel nervous?
- Have you heard how good yoga is, but don't dare to go to a studio and want to try it out on your own first?
- You can't find a babysitter, have crazy working hours and don't want to take your shoes off in public places?
- Are you in top shape, healthy and always in a good mood and just want to do the headstand at some point? Joking aside: you feel really empty and maybe even sad and depressed. What you need is time to get clear about what you want your life to be about

Whatever it is, be clear about why you want to do yoga. The clearer you are about your yoga practice, the better your chances of achieving your goals.

2. decide exactly when and where you want to practise yoga

It doesn't have to be a light-flooded loft with a view of the sea: a small corner in your home, plus a small tea light and a few flowers can make up your personal yoga space.

Once the space has been found, the only thing missing is the timing: think carefully about when you want to practise. If you're rushing to work at the last minute in the morning, it's better to postpone your yoga sessions until the evening. But if you prefer to be with friends in the evening, it's best to practise in the morning.

3 And now: Just get started!

It's best to start by practicing only exercises that you enjoy. Are there only three postures in which you can breathe well? Then only practise these for now and leave the others. Repetition is completely underestimated, especially in a hectic everyday life. You will see that the moment when you feel safe and good will come sooner than you think. And then is the time to tackle another posture.

You can easily get started with these basic postures:

- Breathing - Just come back down and breathe

- Hip opening - For a good start to the day

- Downward-facing dog is less easy than you might think, but is great for back pain
