How to Create a Home Yoga Space in 6 Simple Steps

You don’t need a dedicated room or expensive equipment to practice yoga at home—just a few intentional touches can transform any small space into a peaceful haven for movement and mindfulness. It is really useful to follow these six simple steps to create a home Yoga space that will support maximising the benefits of an online Home Yoga session.

Here’s how to set it up:

1. Find a Quiet Spot

Look for a place in your home with minimal noise and distractions. A corner of your bedroom, living room, or even a hallway can work beautifully as long as it gives you a little breathing room.

2. Keep It Clear and Clean

Declutter the area so your space feels open and calming. A tidy space encourages a tidy mind—especially helpful when you’re trying to relax and focus.

3. Set the Mood

Soften the lighting or use natural light if possible. Add simple elements like a candle, incense, essential oil diffuser, or a salt lamp to create a soothing vibe that invites you in.

4. Stock Your Essentials

Keep your mat easily accessible. Having props like blocks, a strap, a blanket, or a bolster nearby makes it easier to stay committed to your practice. No props? No problem—books and cushions make great stand-ins.

5. Make It Personal

Include something that inspires you—a favourite quote, a small plant, a crystal, or a photo that brings you peace. These small touches can help your space feel like a sacred retreat, even if it’s just a corner.

6. Minimise Tech Distractions

This is probably the hardest step! If you’re streaming classes, try using a device stand or casting to a bigger screen. We want to avoid injuries so please make sure you can see your device clearly. If you are attending a live online practice, consider setting up two heights for your device, allowing the teacher to see your form while seated and standing.

Turn off notifications and switch your phone to airplane or do-not-disturb mode so you can be fully present. It is important to treat the time with the same respect and ‘disengagement’ from smart devices as you would attending an in studio class.

It really is that easy!
