Finding Serenity in Home Yoga Workouts

As the seasons change, I’ve found myself craving a more relaxing and convenient way to stay active. That’s why I’ve recently fallen in love with home yoga workouts. Not only can I enjoy some much-needed me-time, but I can also involve my daughter in this healthy habit.

Making Yoga a Family Affair

While it may not be the most peaceful experience, having a toddler join in on my yoga practice has become a fun and playful way to spend quality time together. In fact, it’s become a staple of our evening routine. My daughter gets excited as soon as I roll out the mat, and it’s adorable to see her try to mimic my poses.

The Benefits of Home Yoga for Busy Parents

As a work-from-home parent, I appreciate the flexibility that comes with practicing yoga at home. With just a few steps to the mat, there’s no excuse not to fit in a quick workout. Plus, it’s a great way to take a break from the daily grind and recharge. When I can, I also try to attend yoga classes at the YMCA, but with my daughter’s unpredictable nap schedule, it’s not always easy.

My Go-To Yoga Channels for a Great Home Workout

I’ve discovered some fantastic YouTube channels that offer a variety of yoga workouts perfect for busy parents like me. Here are two of my favorites:

• Live Strong Woman’s Yoga Series with Tara Stiles: These videos offer a range of levels, from beginner to advanced, and are impressively produced. I love that they’re short and sweet, lasting around 5-10 minutes – perfect for a busy mama like me!
• Sarah Beth Yoga Workout: Sarah’s routines are simple yet effective, and she offers a wide range of options, including a 7-day yoga challenge. Her morning routine yoga video is a particular favorite of mine.

A Bonus Tip for Busy Parents

Sometimes, watching a video just isn’t feasible with a little one running around. That’s why I’ve started using Pinterest images of yoga poses to guide my own practice. This way, I can go at my own pace and still enjoy the benefits of yoga.
