Luckily, with just a few curated items, you can create a tranquil refuge at home so you can find peace every day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be kind to yourself, and give yourself the gift of an&nbsp;<em>inner<\/em>&nbsp;peaceful retreat, especially when you can't go outside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope the ideas and items listed below will help you create your own welcoming and calming space at home that inspires you to get to your mat every day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luxury Mat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A nice thick mat is ultra plush and kinda heavy but it is perfect for your stationary home practice. A 6-mm-thick mat offers substantial joint protection and durability and allows you to sink into that Dolphin Pose or rest peacefully in Savasana so is well worth the investment now. &nbsp;I personally use a Jade Yoga Mat as I think they are perfect for my Vinyasa yoga practice but they are many other great quality ones out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Perfect Props<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blocks and a strap can help you experience the full expression of a pose, even if you lack mobility and flexibility. &nbsp;You can easily purchase these online now as very reasonable prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Soft Sitting Spot for your Meditation or Pranayama Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love soft, sensuous fabrics? Make your practice space truly special with a luxurious meditation cushion that feels as beautiful as it looks. Try to buy one that is filled with buckwheat hulls that can shift beneath you for a custom feel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Deluxe Bolster<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A bolster is a must if you truly want to release long-held tension during restorative poses. One that is stuffed with dense foam will never loses it\u2019s supportive shape. A removable cover for easy cleaning is useful too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Blanket<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cozy up under an inviting cotton blanket on chilly mornings or during a long, lavish Savasana. &nbsp;It is also very useful if folded to assist you during challenging poses as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mood Lighting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set a meditative mood with a natural salt lamp that emits a warm, rosy glow. These lamps can purify the air of allergens and balance electromagnetic radiation. I truly think they are worth investing in for your wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Altar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need to a fancy altar. &nbsp;Just a low table or bedside table like mine is enough to display some of my favourite objects. &nbsp;It is also something pretty to look at and you can change the items depending on your mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Scented Candle or Incense<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Give your practice the boost of aromatherapy with a fragrant candle that can purify the surrounding energy. &nbsp;I personally prefer incense and sometimes I use my essential oil diffuser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Crystals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Decorate your altar with a collection of crystals selected for the specific properties. A selenite wand will charge and cleanse your space or other crystals as well. I love my amethyst piece brought back from Brazil as it also reminds me of my wonderful time there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bluetooth Speaker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring soothing sounds to your practice space with a rechargeable good quality Bluetooth speaker to increase their sense of wellbeing. &nbsp;Relaxing soothing music can really enhance your practice and wellbeing too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see in the photo my altar is very simple but it does make me feel better when I practice next to it. &nbsp;If you have other ideas to set up your practice space, please share them with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Namaste&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Christel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During this disorienting time, we all need our yoga practice more than ever.
