This one’s for all the busy moms and dads out there! Raising children and maintaining the household, while staying on top of your own personal needs is not an easy feat. Today our team put together a short guide to creating an everyday yoga practice for even the busiest parents to maintain, while at home. Check it out below! 

1. Create a Space   

Carving out a personal space for your yoga practice in your home will make all the difference in helping you to establish an everyday practice. Create a space with intention that is decorated to your liking and generates a calm and relaxing atmosphere. When the space feels energetically magnetic, you’ll naturally draw towards it, inspiring you to step on the mat each day. 

2. Grab Some Yoga Props

Yoga props are one of the best ways to fill your new yoga space, as well as to encourage you to practice more regularly through adding a creative element to your practice that can help to challenge, strengthen, and progress your practice. Some common props to choose from include blocks, straps, or wheels. 

3. Choose an Online Platform

There are so many online platforms to choose from when deciding where to practice virtually. Youtube is a great free resource, in addition to affordable monthly or annual subscription services. Look for a platform that best fits your needs as a practitioner. 

4. Include Your Little Ones

If your little one is able and willing to practice along with you, encourage them to flow with you. Providing them with their own yoga props can help inspire them to participate. You can also give your little one an arts and craft project or play activity to do while you practice. If you have younger children, you can set them up in your space for naptime or in a play area, while you practice. 

5. Create Inspiration

Create a weekly calendar with practice themes, intentions, and even positive affirmations or inspiring messages to help you remain consistent. Planning out each week can help you to stay inspired in creating an everyday practice. 

We hope that these tips help you to create an accessible yoga practice that you can partake in on a daily basis, even while managing a household with your little ones and family!
