With the lockdown being imposed on everyone to combat the pandemic disease of Coronavirus, one thing that most of the people are facing being confined to home is anxiety and stress. It could be due to various reasons - the low-level feeling of staying at home for a longer duration, claustrophobic feeling or overload of professional and household work and many others.
In such situations, one needs to gather oneself and keep oneself calm by engaging in activities that can help them channelize their energy positively. In the times of lockdown, the mind can be clogged with unwanted thoughts, giving rise to negativity. Hence, to fight not only COVID-19 but also mental barriers, one should opt for yoga in these challenging times.
But the question is how to do yoga at home? Is there any particular set up with which yoga should be practised? Well, it recommended that one can do a DIY setup of a yoga room which sets the vibe of yoga. Irrespective of the size of the home, yoga room can be set up anywhere with the following tips that can be followed by anyone:
- De-Clutter Things - By this, it means that all those things should be removed that are extra in that room and include those items that make the room aesthetically beautiful and functional. It should be done in such a way that it suits your needs and does not distract you while doing yoga and you feel more relaxed.
- Choose Peaceful Colours - When you will do yoga, you would require a peaceful set up to help you channelize your mental and physical energy. One could preferably go for pastel shades which are much calmer and muted colours. The pastel colours do not scream for attention like bright colours. Also, one could go for non-toxic colours and feel good about oneself by using environment-friendly products.
- Decorate with a Purpose - Yoga room can be made into a peaceful room by adding the decorative items that will simply elevate the feeling of relaxation such as using scented candles, incense sticks or aromatherapy to create a welcoming space.
- Light Adequately and Suitably - Lighting is usually underestimated but it does play a very significant role. All kinds of lighting are available that will make you feel much more calmer and reposed. For the same purpose, even light coloured curtains can serve the same purpose by filtering the light and giving a beautiful light shade.
- Make Space for Yoga Equipments - As much as it is about you making feel reposed by doing yoga, then a good status should be accorded to things that are sometimes required for doing yoga such as yoga mat, activewear, wall art or some showpieces that are kept in the yoga room itself so that you do not have to run around to commence your yoga session. Having one place to keep all these things for yoga will make you more organized.
