Last updated: 5 December 2025 6 min read  ## 5 Essentials for Starting Yoga at Home 1. Understand the benefits of yoga so you can get the most out of the practice. 2. Create a yoga space that feels calming and allows room for movement. 3. Invest in a yoga mat and yoga props. 4. Establish a routine to create consistency. 5. Focus on breathing to strengthen the mind-body connection. Although there are many yoga classes at studios and gyms these days, at-home yoga provides a self-guided practice that allows beginners to build strength and flexibility on their own schedule, and from the comfort of home. Not sure where to start? Here's a go-to beginner's guide that can help you get started and establish a [regular yoga routine](https://www.nike.com/yoga), wherever you are. ## Shop Nike Yoga [View All](https://www.nike.com/hr/w/yoga-anrlj) - [ \ Nike Dri-FIT \ Men's Fitness T-Shirt \ __32,99 €__](https://www.nike.com/hr/t/dri-fit-mens-fitness-t-shirt-0VRmcF/AR6029-010) - [ \ Nike Zenvy \ Women's Light-Support Padded Longline Sports Bra \ __59,99 €__](https://www.nike.com/hr/t/zenvy-womens-light-support-padded-longline-sports-bra-ZTORokz7/IB9861-502) - [ \ Nike Zenvy \ Women's High-Waisted 7/8 Leggings with No Front Seam \ __99,99 €__](https://www.nike.com/hr/t/zenvy-womens-high-waisted-7-8-leggings-with-no-front-seam-ZKWHnk3u/II5233-010) - [ \ Nike Zenvy Strappy \ Women's Light-Support Padded Sports Bra \ __54,99 €__](https://www.nike.com/hr/t/zenvy-strappy-womens-light-support-padded-sports-bra-u7GJu1RK/IB9847-502) - [ \ Nike Zenvy \ Women's Dri-FIT Full-Zip Jacket \ __94,99 €__](https://www.nike.com/hr/t/zenvy-womens-dri-fit-full-zip-jacket-HpGBawKZ/II3927-303) - [ \ Nike Pro Training \ Men's Dri-FIT Short-Sleeve Top \ __42,99 €__](https://www.nike.com/hr/t/pro-training-mens-dri-fit-short-sleeve-top-KmRmSQ/HV0409-010) - [ \ Nike Pro Training \ Men's Dri-FIT 15cm (approx.)

[According to Yoga Alliance](https://yogaalliance.org/benefits-of-yoga/), research on yoga suggests that a consistent routine can: 1. Enhance the mind-body connection, 2. Provide stress reduction and emotional balance, 3. Alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, 4. Strengthen focus and self-awareness, 5. Improve flexibility training, and 6. Boost cardiovascular health. Yoga's effects on the parasympathetic nervous system and brain are particularly powerful. [Harvard Health notes](https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/yoga-for-better-mental-health) that studies using MRI scans and other brain imaging technology have shown that people who do yoga regularly have a thicker cerebral cortex and hippocampus—the areas of the brain involved in information processing, learning and memory. ## How To Start Doing Yoga at Home When you're ready to begin at-home yoga, here are some top tips to get started. ## Make space Having a dedicated space for your at-home yoga practice is ideal. If you can, choose a spot in your home with a wall, which can be helpful when you're in a balance pose. ## Invest in a mat and yoga props Although you can do yoga on a rug or bare floor, a [yoga mat](https://www.nike.com/w/yoga-mats-821ge) is helpful because it prevents slipping and provides grip. That can help you feel more stable, especially in standing poses. You may also want a pair of [yoga blocks](https://www.nike.com), which provide support and can help you get into some poses more easily. ## Establish a routine If possible, designate certain days and times for your yoga practice. This can help you create more consistency in your schedule. Start with a 15- to [25-minute session](https://www.nike.com/ntc-app/morning-yoga-flow). ## Start with breathing A big part of yoga is establishing a strong mind-body connection, and that's often done through awareness of your breath. Spend at least a few minutes at the start of a yoga session doing some deep breathing to get in the right frame of mind. ## Switch up your yoga In addition to the beginner-friendly poses below, consider doing virtual yoga classes or finding YouTube yoga options. This can help you see different yoga flows and find options that work best for you. ## Adjust your expectations Getting better at poses, balancing and flows takes time—just have fun with it and enjoy the movements and breathing. ## Shop Nike Yoga Tights and Leggings [View All](https://www.nike.com/hr/w/yoga-tights-leggings-29sh2zanrlj) - [ \ Nike Zenvy \ Women's High-Waisted 7/8 Leggings with No Front Seam \ __99,99 €__](https://www.nike.com/hr/t/zenvy-womens-high-waisted-7-8-leggings-with-no-front-seam-ZKWHnk3u/II5233-010) - [ \ Nike One \ Women's High-Waisted Full-Length Stirrup Leggings \ __54,99 €__](https://www.nike.com/hr/t/one-womens-high-waisted-full-length-stirrup-leggings-mIi96smO/IV4933-010) - [ \ Nike Pro 365 \ Women's 13cm (approx.)

Here are some to consider, along with step-by-step details. ## Child's Pose This is a commonly used resting pose that also stretches your neck, lower back, hips and shoulders. - Start on all fours in tabletop, then bring your feet together and your knees apart. - Extend your arms out in front of you and lean back so your glutes rest on top of your ankles or feet. - Rest your forehead against the floor. ## Downward-Facing Dog Strengthens your arms, shoulders and back, while also engaging your hamstrings and calves. - Start on all fours with your hands directly underneath your shoulders. - Lift your hips up towards the ceiling. - Keep a slight bend in your knees. - Push heels down towards the floor, but it's OK if they don't come all the way down. ## Mountain Pose Helps you stay connected to your breath while stretching your shoulders and lengthening your spine. - Stand with your toes together and heels slightly apart. - Move your arms above your head and reach towards the sky with your biceps next to your ears. - Press firmly into the ground evenly with both feet and relax your shoulders so they are pressed down. ## Cobra Pose This is a gentle backbend while you're supported on the floor, providing increased flexibility in your back muscles and shoulders. - Start by lying flat on the floor on your stomach. - The tops of your toes should touch the floor. - Your arms should be bent, with your hands next to the tops of your ribs. - Leave your arms where they are and lift your entire torso off the ground with little to no weight in your hands. ## Tree Pose This balancing posture increases strength in your legs and core, while also firing up your mind-body connection. - Stand with your feet about hip-distance apart. - Bend your left knee and open it towards the left side. - Rest your left foot against your right ankle or calf. - Put your hands in a prayer pose, and make sure your back is straight and your shoulders are back. - Hold for a few breaths and switch legs. ## Crescent Lunge Helps create strong quadriceps and hamstrings while also working on your balance and focus. - Start in a standing pose with your legs slightly apart. - Take a big step forward with your left leg and bend your knee so your thigh is parallel to the floor. - Square your hips to the front of the room and reach your arms to the sky so your biceps are by your ears. - Make sure your back foot is lifted so the heel does not touch the floor. - Breathe and switch sides. ## Bridge Pose This backbend stretches your chest, lower back and neck area while still helping you feel supported since you're on the floor. - Start by laying on your back with your knees bent so your heels are close to your glutes. - With your arms by your sides and palms pressing against the floor, lift your hips to the ceiling. - Keep your neck long and your knees parallel so they don't splay out when you lift.

Yes, if they focus on paying attention to how each pose feels for the body, adjusting when necessary. How long should I practise yoga each day? You can practise for just a few minutes, or for over an hour; it's up to you and your schedule. You may find there's a certain timeframe, like 30 minutes, that tends to work best for your needs.
