Can I learn yoga at home?

Some people are lazy and don't want to run around to the yoga studio to learn yoga; some people are too busy at work and don't have enough time to practice in the yoga studio. However, the benefits of yoga have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so some people want to slowly learn and practice yoga at home. So, can you learn yoga at home? What movements can you do?

1. Lie on your back and stretch your legs

Lie on your back in bed with your legs together, then lift and straighten one leg, grab your ankle with both hands and pull it towards your chest, exhale and inhale slowly, maintain natural breathing for 15-20 seconds, then put your leg down. Repeat the movement alternately with the left and right legs, and do 3 sets.

2. Stretch the pelvis

Lie on your back with your legs together and toes pointed. Fold one leg and hold the ankle with both hands to bring it toward your chest. Breathe naturally for 15-20 seconds and repeat 3 times. Then repeat with alternating legs. This exercise can strengthen the pelvic muscles and reduce inner thigh fat.

3. Seated side stretch

Sit on the bed with your right leg straight and your left leg bent and against your hip. Then grab your right toes with your right hand, raise your left hand up, tilt your upper body to the right, and look up.

4. Bridge pose

Lie on your back with your legs shoulder-width apart, bend your knees, and place your feet at the bottom like the letter "11". Then lift your hips off the bed, stretch your hands straight down and clasp them together, while lifting your chest. Gently lift your chin and look up at the sky.

5. Twist

Sit on the bed with your back straight and legs stretched out. Then bend your left leg and place your left foot on the right side of your right leg. Support your body with your left hand behind you, grab your left ankle with your right hand, and twist your body to the left and back.

6. Dance

Hold the bed frame with one hand, then use your other hand to grab the ankle of the same-side foot and lift that leg up. Lean forward slightly and lift your legs as high as possible.

The above yoga moves are relatively simple and you can try to do them at home. However, if conditions permit, it is best to go to a yoga studio and practice with a coach. This way the movements will be more standardized, accurate, and in place, and the effects of yoga will truly be brought into play.
