More and more, people are choosing to do yoga at home for the boost in mind and body benefits. Go with the new flow— it’s never been easier.

The beauty of yoga lies in the fact that all you need is a mat to do it. This means the location is up for grabs, which is why many are taking advantage of the boom in personalized instruction and foregoing the studio for their living rooms. Indeed, private yoga is the most reserved workout on Handstand, an app that lets you book instructors and trainers wherever you are; meanwhile, Grokker, a fitness streaming service, nearly doubled its yoga viewing hours last year. And it’s not just about the ease of rolling out of bed and onto your mat—bringing your practice into your home can be just what you need to be consistent and vary your style to get stronger and to feel truly calm and confident. “Look at home yoga as a way to expand your practice by exploring new methods,” says Callie Miller, the chief marketing officer at YogaGlo, a yoga and meditation streaming service. This is how to flow at home.
