I have stayed on the Week 1 course for a whole month and a half. Gradually, as you become more comfortable in the poses, you can progress to more advanced poses and longer sequences. So it is a wonderful step by step guide, that you can take at your own pace. It also tells you what health benefits the pose has on you. Every pose has matching images, detailed descriptions and step by step instructions of getting in and out of the pose. It really takes you on a journey, as you learn the poses properly. I’ve loved doing this book’s course over the last couple of months.

It starts from beginner to very advanced. You can then go to a section towards the back of the book, and start the yoga courses. You can just start at the beginning, and learn about the poses – how to do them properly, step by step. This book is incredible if you want to learn yoga. That’s what inspired me to write this article, and share it with you! And now, deciding to use this book more, instead of just following online videos, I have really felt its true impact. It is the first time in my life that I am this consistent with exercise. I’ve carried this book around with me for years, pulling it out every now and again and doing some poses. But then, one day I felt like a change and pulled out this Light on Yoga book by the legend B.K.S Iyengar. Instead of being on and off the exercise wagon, and seeing little results.Īnd so, for months I have been doing online yoga videos, which are amazing. I decided to exercise at home this year so that I could be more regular and form a real habit. I have spent the last year in particular, doing a lot of online yoga videos. And so, you can help yourself out by either following some beginner yoga videos online (there are lots), or you could use a book like this. Having someone to guide you through your yoga session is a lot easier. If you’re a yoga beginner, practising by yourself may seem daunting or overwhelming.

Doing yoga regularly has many health benefits, for the body and mind. By practicing yoga at home, even if for just 2 mornings a week on the same days, you start to build a very healthy habit. While going to the yoga studio or gym for a class is great, doing some self-practice is also a good idea. 1) It’s a great way to learn yoga at home
