Creating a Sacred Space for yoga at home

Before you start doing yoga, you must find a sacred space for yourself where you can sit without any external disturbance. This will help you to perform yoga peacefully and will help in better results.  

Setting Goals for Yoga

Setting clear goals is an essential part of any yoga practice. When you define your purpose for practicing yoga, it provides direction and motivation and it improves your growth in yoga more rapidly.

Importance of setting goals:-

• Clarity and Focus: You must know the reason why you are doing yoga, is it for increasing flexibility, managing stress, or seeking spiritual growth, once your clarity is clear your focus to it will increase automatically which in result your practice will be in sense of direction and your goals will be achieved fast.
• Motivation: After having clarity in your thoughts of doing yoga this will encourage you to do yoga regularly with motivation, because knowing your goal gives you motivation to do it regularly and consistently with dedication.

• Mind-Body Connection: How does your practice align with your holistic well-being? Yoga is about the union of mind and body. Setting goals in areas such as mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical strength allows you to cultivate a positive sense of well-being.
• Adaptability: Are your goals evolving with your practice? Goals can change over time. Initially, you might focus on physical aspects, and as you jump deeper into your practice, you might discover a desire for more profound spiritual connections. Yoga is adaptable, allowing you to adjust your goals as needed.
