Discover how to deepen your yoga journey between studio visits with simple home rituals, mindset shifts, and alignment tips that keep you connected to your Las Olas Yoga practice.

Yoga at the studio is special — the guidance, the collective energy, the feeling of connection. At Las Olas Yoga, we celebrate that every day. But students often ask: “How can I stay connected to my practice when I can’t make it to the studio?”

Here’s how to build a meaningful home practice that supports your growth, complements your studio classes, and keeps you rooted in movement, mindfulness, and community.

1. Set a Simple Anchor

Start with one small ritual you can turn to on days you’re not in class. It doesn’t have to be a full flow. Try:

• 5 minutes of breathing (like deep belly breath or alternate nostril).
• Two rounds of Sun Salutation A to wake up your body.
• A short sequence like Child’s Pose → Cat/Cow → Downward-Facing Dog.

This small anchor keeps your practice alive, even on busy days.

2. Listen to Your Body

Our non-heated classes are designed to help you listen rather than push. That same principle applies at home. Ask yourself:

• “What does my body need today?”
• “Do I need movement, stillness, strength, or rest?”

If you’re tired, a few restorative poses are perfect. If you’re energized, flow for 20 minutes. The goal is to respond to your body, not force it - that’s real yoga.

3. Make Space for Your Practice

Create a small, intentional area that invites you to show up:

• Pick a consistent spot with room for your mat and props.
• Light a candle or take a breath before starting — something that marks the shift into practice.
• Silence notifications and give yourself permission to be present.
• Keep props handy — a block, strap, or bolster (or a book and belt!) can help your body feel supported.

4. Short & Sweet Counts

A home practice doesn’t have to be long to be meaningful. Even 15–20 minutes can shift your whole day. Try this:

• 2 minutes of conscious breathing
• 5 minutes of Sun Salutations
• 8 minutes of standing or balance poses (Warrior II, Tree, etc.)
• 5 minutes of forward folds and Savasana

A little consistency goes a long way.

5. Reflect After You Practice

Your home practice isn’t just movement - it’s awareness. Afterward, pause and ask:

• “How do I feel now?”
• “What shifted for me?”
• “What do I want to bring into my next class?”

These small reflections deepen your connection and make your time in the studio even more meaningful.

6. Stay Connected to Community

Even when you’re practicing alone, you’re part of the Las Olas Yoga community. Keep that connection alive:

• Let your home practice inspire you to book your next class.
• Share what you’re practicing with a friend from the studio.
• Bring what you learn at home into class - a pose, a mindset, or simply your presence.

Your home practice is an extension of the energy we build together.

7. Know When to Rest

Some days call for movement; others call for stillness. Listen and honor that.

• If you’re tired or sore, try Child’s Pose, Legs-Up-the-Wall, or Supine Twist.
• If you’re motivated, flow with your favorite playlist.

The key is to practice with kindness, not pressure.

A home yoga practice isn’t about doing more - it’s about staying connected to yourself. By keeping it simple, listening to your body, and nurturing consistency, you’ll bridge the space between classes and deepen your connection to your practice, your body, and your community.

We’d love to hear how you stay connected off the mat. Next time you’re in class, tell us what your home practice looks like!
