If you live in a rural area, or in a location where there are no yoga studies within easy distance, you can certainly do yoga by yourself.
Learning yoga at home - books, DVDs
There are many books and DVDs which will teach you yoga. Here are some tips to help you to get the most from them:
* When you’re beginning your yoga practice, work with just one pose at a time. The next day, add another pose. Work with these two poses only for a few days. Yoga is not a competition, it’s a way to become familiar with your body, and your mind. This means that you must be very aware of what’s happening, both with your body and your mind, in the moment.
* When you’re familiar with four or five poses, practice these poses for a week or two. If you’re working with a DVD, work with just the first five or ten minutes of the DVD, then rest in Savasana (Corpse Pose). This pose is not as easy as it appears. It’s extremely difficult to relax completely.
