Best Yoga Poses for Beginners at Home

Starting your yoga journey from home? You’re not alone—and you don’t need a fancy studio to experience powerful changes in your body and mind. Whether you're seeking better flexibility, inner calm, or simply a healthier lifestyle, these beginner-friendly yoga poses are the perfect place to begin.

🌟 Why Start Yoga at Home?

A study by Harvard Health found that 30 minutes of yoga daily reduces stress, improves sleep, and boosts focus. Even better, starting from home helps you build confidence at your own pace, without feeling judged or compared to others in a class.

Real Story: Priya, a 32-year-old software engineer from Pune, began practicing yoga in her small living room. Within 2 months, her back pain eased and she felt emotionally balanced—all from just 20 minutes daily.
New Insight: A 2023 survey by Yoga Journal found that 68% of people who started yoga at home reported higher consistency than those attending classes.
"Yoga became my daily ritual. It gave me time to connect with myself, even during the busiest work-from-home days." – Nisha, HR executive, Mumbai
