How To Practice Mindful Yoga At Home

How To Practice Mindful Yoga At Home

By Hannah Guy

Mindfulness and yoga is on everybody’s radar, as more people have discovered the importance of mental wellbeing and fitness. If 2020-2022 has taught us anything, it’s that mental health is just as important as our physical health.

The closure of gyms, sports facilities and fitness classes across the nation meant that people began adapting their homes to facilitate their exercise rituals and routines. We entered the age of at-home gyms, virtual exercise classes and fitness apps. The culture surrounding fitness and how we choose to exercise has completely transformed throughout lockdown.

Despite the reopening of gyms, many people remain anxious to return to public spaces. In other words, some of us have gotten pretty used to working out in the comfort of our own homes rather than venturing outside to visit the local leisure centre. And actually, we prefer it.

In a time of uncertainty and high levels of anxiety, many people are combining exercise with mental relaxation to improve fitness and relieve stress. It’s imperative that we look after our mental health and be kind to our minds, especially during these trying times.
