Daily Yoga Routine: How to Incorporate Yoga into Your Life

Tips to incorporate Yoga into your daily life

Here are some ways through which you can incorporate yoga despite a hectic schedule: 

1. Set a specific time & place

Setting aside a specific time and place can help in making yoga a regular part of your routine. Whether it's first thing in the morning, during your lunch break, or before bed, choose a time that works best for you.

2. Start small and be consistent

Starting with just few minutes of practice per day can make a big difference. You don’t have to do an hour-long yoga class, instead gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable with the practice.

3. Make it a habit

To make it a part of your daily routine, you can link your yoga practice with an existing habit. For instance, practicing yoga after brushing your teeth in the morning or before going to bed at night can help you stick to this new habit.

4. Practice mindfulness during your commute

Practicing meditation and mindfulness while you’re commuting to work or when driving is the perfect time to fit it in. This will make it feel natural, and eventually, you will feel like you are missing something if you don’t do it.

5. Take yoga breaks

Take a few minutes of break in the car, at work, desk, or kitchen to practice some Chair Yoga. You can select from Seated Spinal Twist, Cat/Cow Pose, Seated Camel Pose, Seated Forward Bend, Seated Tree Pose, etc. These poses are simple, easy, and highly effective.

6. End your day with meditation

Before going to sleep, invest a few minutes in meditation and self-reflection. It shall actually help you sleep better and faster as the practice puts the mind and body in a peaceful state.
