Yoga is a great hobby
Would you like to find a hobby, which is beneficial? Well, let me tell you about yoga, my hobby.
Yoga is certainly mind and body practice. There are different styles and you can find your favorite by trying all of the styles. It might take some time, sweating and frustrating. Above all, you have found a hobby, which can be helpful for so many things.
My journey
I have practiced yoga for 2 years now and it has helped me for example to find my inner peace, flexibility and happiness.
Yoga has certainly affected to my daily life. Here are 3 things, which are better now, thanks to yoga.
- While stressing, just take a small breathing exercise. It will certainly help.
- Yoga has helped me to recover better from my workouts.
- In addition, happiness is present daily, since I have time to take care of myself and step into my mat.
Most importantly, my favorite yoga style is called Yin yoga. It is a great way to let go and enjoy the silence and yourself. You hold poses about 2-3 minutes and it really helps you to take time for self-examination.
Here are my 5 tips to start Yin.
- Firstly, do Yin, when you have time and energy to focus yourself and let go.
- Secondly, select a quiet place and let no one to disturb you.
- You can also use yoga equipment´s to feel better during practice.
- Do not skip shavasana at the end of your practice. This will really help you to feel the effects of your practice, even you need to just lay down on the floor.
- Repeat yoga practice even daily, if you have time.
My favourites
Finally, here is my top 3 yoga channels from Youtube, which helped me to get started with this awesome hobby.
- Yoga with Kassandra is my absolute favorite. You will find plenty of Yin yoga practises and other yoga styles.
- Second good channel is Yoga With Bird . There you will find shorter videos if you don´t have time for longer yoga session.
- Lastly, Boho Beautiful Yoga will bring you yoga practises and meditation also.
You can start your yoga jorney already today. Buy a yoga mat or do the practise on your mat, take some water, and open the Youtube.

Hey Mari and thanks for the great blog post. I chose this post because I have given some consideration for starting yoga myself. I really liked reading your post. It was not shy to use external links, which was a good way to summarize the content. There also was nice spread in your articles from youtube videos to medical articles. Well done! I also liked the fact that you had taken your own photo, which suited this post well. You also nicely used the listing feature a lot, which helped to keep the post clear and quick read. Good job all together.
