既然有緣到此一訪，
何妨放鬆一下妳(你)的心緒，
歇一歇妳(你)的腳步，

讓我陪妳(你)喝一杯香醇的咖啡吧！

這裡是一個完全開放的交心空間，
躺在綠意漾然的草原上，望著晴空的藍天，
白雲和微風嬉鬧著，無拘無束的赤著腳，
可以輕輕鬆鬆的道出心中情。

共同分享著彼此悲歡離合的酸甜苦辣。
互相激勵，互相撫慰，互相提攜，
一齊向前邁進。

也因為有妳(你)的來訪，我們認識了。
請讓我能擁有機會回拜於妳(你)空間的機會。
謝謝妳(你)！

6 Mistakes Home Yoga Practitioners Make (and How to Fix Them)

Practice at home on the regular? We do, too! While this is a great option, streaming yoga without a live teacher can lead to common mistakes. Top online teachers share what they think we do wrong and give their tips on improvements we can make.

Online classes make practicing yoga more convenient, accessible, and affordable. You can practice wherever you'd like, whenever you'd like, and choose the length, type, and level of the class. The best part, other than not having to change out of your pajamas? Most streaming yoga services such as YogaGlo, OMStars, and more cost $20 or less per month.

The downside is that unless there's a two-way camera involved (Ompractice offers this service), there’s no live teacher to offer suggestions and corrections. So we asked popular online teachers what mistakes home practitioners are making the most—and how to correct them.

6 'Mistakes' Home Yoga Practitioners Make (and How to Fix Them)

Bad at-home habit: You find yourself in Downward-Facing Dog pose a lot in online yoga classes, so you’ll want to have impeccable form in order to help preserve your shoulders and lower back over time. Down Dog is often described as an upside-down V with the heels touching the floor. This description is helpful to quickly get into a basic form of the pose; however, it can result in a very short stance that’s too choked up to get any freedom or extension in the spine.The fix: Consider walking your feet back and taking a longer stance, so you get more mobility in your lower back and can open your chest freely in the pose. Don’t worry if your heels no longer touch the floor. You have a predetermined length to your Achilles tendon, which can be overstretched permanently from continually pushing your heels down.See also Amy Ippoliti’s New Way to Wheel: A 6-Step Warm-Up

Bad at-home habit: For yoga asana students with a home practice, I'd say the biggest issue is they (in most cases) don't have someone checking on their alignment. You can learn the shapes and actions of a posture through an online class, but if no one is there to see your version of the posture, you might be messing it up. Bad alignment isn't always necessarily a big deal in any given day of practice, but over time it can lead to strain and injury.The fix: One way to check your alignment is to take a video of yourself doing the pose/practice. Be prepared: It can be a traumatic thing to watch yourself practice. What feels so amazing sometimes looks ... less than amazing. Painful as it is, that observation can be the first step in developing better alignment. When you watch yourself, what looks off? Is the leg bent when it should be straight? Is the back round where it should be more flat? It will take a while to fix those issues, but at least once you've seen what you need to do, you'll be working in the right direction.See also 7 Myths About Yoga Alignment

Bad at-home habit: Without a doubt, the number one easiest bad habit to pick up when practicing at home or on the road is to cut poses short and avoid others. While lots of people have specific poses they resist or avoid, this early ending of poses happens most commonly in Savasana! I've seen this happen with students when I'm teaching or practicing at a studio, too. A practitioner will try to leave class early or do extra twisting or anything else to avoid lying still for five to eight minutes. At home, it's really easy to cut a pose short, especially Savasana, and nobody is there to call you out on the self-sabotage.The fix: The best way to prevent yourself from cutting poses short is to make a simple agreement with yourself: Right when you want to leave the pose, hold it for one more long inhale and one long exhale. That's it. As for Savasana, a timer on your phone is great. Don't put it too close to your head, or the sound/vibration will be startling. Both of these approaches allow you to know there is an end and still free you up to get more out of your practice. See also A Home Practice to Cultivate Contentment

Bad at-home habit: Distraction is one of the biggest issues when practicing at home. For example, if your phone is nearby, and you see or hear text messages coming through, it’s so tempting to pick up the phone and check it. It can be hard not to let your mind start ruminating on all of these discussions. It’s also hard to get started. I find there are a thousand things to do at home like cleaning, laundry, organizing the closet, answering emails, doing the dishes, and just generally anything other than practice yoga.The fix: When you’re streaming videos to support your home practice, put your device on Do Not Disturb mode, and sign out of or quit other programs that send you notifications. Also, just let go of the idea that your home will be perfect and that you will get everything done. Accept that even five minutes a day on your mat can make a qualitative difference in your life. Setting a yoga routine and including your loved ones in your routine is an important step in creating the space for home practice. If you practice first thing in the morning every day, your family will adjust. But if you’re practicing at random times throughout the day, then it’s hard both for your body and your loved ones to get used to the schedule and the program.

Bad at-home habit: Actually, when I encounter folks who've studied with me on YogaGlo, all I notice are their good habits! For the most part, my online students have stellar alignment and lots of patience with themselves, with clear currents of energy moving through their forms and a potent heart presence. The fix: No fixes necessary!See also 9 Top Yoga Teachers Share How They 'Talk' to the Universe
