2. Choosing a Comfortable Place:
Yoga is mostly done on yoga mats, but that doesn’t mean if you don’t have one then you cannot do it. Grab a piece of carpet or blanket, don’t let your excuses overpower your will and stick to your routine. Because exercise can be done by using any kind of fitness equipment. If you are living in some overcrowded city and do not have adequate space in your room, take out the mattress from your bed and use the flat surface of your bed to practice your yoga.

4. Know Your Limits:
You are the king of your own body and you should know what is the limit of your body. Don’t push yourself off the limits and injure yourself, rather, know the boundaries and limits of your body and stretch it as per that. If you feel some pain while practicing a particular asana, do not hesitate to stop otherwise it can be very dangerous for your body. Your neck, spine, and hips are usually vulnerable when you feel some pain in a particular position. So, practice regularly till your body is flexible enough to adjust in every pose.
5. Be Consistent:
It is very important to be consistent and make it a routine, otherwise, it is of no use. Set your goals. Once a week is good, three times a week is better and everyday practice is great. Do not make a resolution to practice it every day if you cannot rather choose as per your convenience. If you decide to perform it thrice a week, you will feel a sense of relief after you accomplish it. Also in the beginning so not try complicated yoga asanas without proper guidance. Give yourself some time to adapt to your new routine for best results and continuity.
6. Opt For a Simple Yoga Wear:
While doing yoga, don’t wear tight clothes as they may cause hindrance while doing some heavy stretching. Always wear loose clothes as they are comfortable for all the asanas.
7. Enjoy your yoga:
Again, do not push your body off the limits. If you overdo your yoga then you will not enjoy it and eventually, your body will not be ready for the next session. So, go easy on it, enjoy your yoga and stay fit.
