Tuesday Yoga Giveaway: My Yoga Online
Posted on February 28th, 2012
Question: What’s the best part of practicing yoga at home?
It’s not that we don’t truly appreciate practicing yoga at studios; they have a ton of benefits that we can list off in a split-second. But when it comes to the benefits of doing yoga at home, here’s what we come up with:
- Not having to change out of our pyjamas
- Skipping the traffic-heavy drive
- Not having to carry a wallet
- Being able to sing out ‘Om’ as long and as loud as we want
- Feeling free to skip the ‘Om’ if we want
- Falling asleep in savasana...and not having to get up
- Snoring in savasana...and not worrying about others hearing
- Feeling free to shout out a “Oh, as if I’m doing that!” to the teacher
- Feeling free to shout out “You rock my world!”
We believe yoga works best when it can be done anywhere, anytime. Yoga is a personal, do-it-for-you and the world benefits kind of practice. Wherever you love to practice is the best place to do it. Here at My Yoga Online, a do-anywhere, anytime practice is what we’re all about.

Hello,
And thank you for all the wonderful yoga you provide! I also appreciate the
Whole Health Programs, which I will be enjoying the next few months. The
only thing I miss, is yoga classes...

I am very self-conscious and I am a bit of a perfectionist also, so I could never get myself to go to a studio. I'm sure I'd have an anxiety attack rather than a relief from anxiety. As a beginner who is VERY inflexible I am so greateful for MyYogaOnline because it allows me to tone my body, become flexible, relieve anxiety, and it teaches me oh so many things from stress management to healthy eating. I've yet to find out how to get my boyfriend involved with me though, so if there's a post somewhere help me out! Thank you so much for creating MyYogaOnline.

though i really enjoy practicing yoga in studio, my home practice helps me better focus on myself and my own practice. it is easier for me to focus and i don't get distracted during I'm in savasana. you can also choose when,where and what you will practice or focus on each day.

Being able to select the perfect practice for me at any time, any day. Being able to pause, hold or continue on the flow that being in the moment brings is...SERENITY!

I love practicing yoga at home for several reasons. We live in a 3rd floor condo (3 units total) and there are windows everywhere with sunlight or moonlight always shining through and you can see the trees swaying while you're in a wheel pose or really hear the wind/rain while in savasana which is awesome! We also have bamboo wood floors which remind me of most yoga studios so it's perfect for when I lay my mat down. I love that I don't have to worry about how much I'm sweating. I love that I don't have to worry about trying inversions or harder poses over & over with the fear of others watching me when I can't actually do it quite yet. And I love that I can wear just my little shorts & sports bra that I would never wear to an actual studio. Plus, it's funny to see my dog get excited every time I put my mat down. She grabs one of her toys & thinks it's play time and I can't help but laugh when she grabs the toy & gets in her downward dog. :)

The best part is being able to lay my mat down anywhere and just do a few poses to relax

Being able to personalize the practice to how i'm feeling that day also not having to worry about how cute my yoga clothes are.

No matter the weather you can always put out the mat and do your practice; watch the rain, snow or wind and in the comfort of your own peaceful home do your practice.

I like how you can change the vibe of your day. A home practice is very empowering, even just a few sun salutations can bring so much light into a bad day.

The best part of practicing at home is, I can choose the practice and level without my ego getting in the way. I can also go deeper into meditation and be anywhere I want, or not. MYO has helped me tremendously! Thank you!

I have created my home yoga practice space when we first moved into our house. My space has evolved over the year making it more inviting to come in and meditate, practice or just to relax. The best part by having a home practice is the environment is not only calming to me but for my dog and cats as well. They love to hang out while I practice.

I love that I can slip into the morning by doing yoga in my bedroom. Rather than have to drive to the studio, I can truly start my day by cultivating peace and gratitude.
