Highlights

Set Realistic Goals00:00:31

As a beginner, start with a small, manageable amount of time, like 10-20 minutes daily. This builds a routine you can gradually expand as you become more comfortable.

Set a Consistent Time00:01:26

Practice yoga at the same time each day to program your brain and establish it as a habit. Consistency helps reinforce the behavior, making it second nature.

Designate a Suitable Space00:02:19

Create a quiet, clutter-free space in your home where you can practice without distractions. Personalize it with items you love, ensuring it remains a serene area for focus.
