One of the things I love about Yoga is how convenient and accessible it is. I literally don't even need to leave the house or worry about crazy-expensive memberships. There are an overwhelming amount of videos on the web that can make it feel overwhelming - especially as a beginner. So I figured I'll let you in on how I got started! 

First Things First: Materials

• You obvs need a mat! Any mat is fine starting out. As soon as you've moved onto more complicated sessions or hot yoga, you may want to look at more options tailored to your practice. 
• Blocks, resistance bands etc. This is all optional. I didn't feel the need for any, but I'd highly recommend it if you are level 1 - no flexibility :p
• Incense, candles or room spray to set the mood and allow you to enter into a state of calm.
• A blanket or soft pillow just in case the floor is too hard for your knees .
• A quiet space away from any distractions.

Why? It's free :) I have this thing with ensuring that the teacher's voice is calm and soothing. I also prefer teacher's who guide you to the point you don't even need to look up. With Maris Aylward, I can follow along super easily and she literally has the voice of an angel. Check out some of my favourite videos that are perfect for beginners:
