Do I need a mat for Yoga at home?
It helps to have your own mat as this cultivates the practice of rolling your own mat out and showing up. Your mat is the space you have created to make time for you and to take care of yourself, it is the platform for your own sweat and tears: a place where you can just be you.

If you are new to yoga, I would recommend starting with a hatha yoga class or a vinyasa flow for beginners. From here, you can try different types and over time you will find classes that suit you.
What time of day is best to do Yoga?
First thing in the morning or the evening is a great time for a yoga practice. It is a great way to start the day and then you can concentrate on the day ahead. It is also a really nice way to switch off from your working day too so there is definitely benefit to both! Try both and see which you prefer.

You will feel more benefit from yoga if you practice at home or go to yoga classes two or more times per week. Some people feel better doing a daily practice if your lifestyle allows the time.
