Why You Should Be Doing Yoga at Home (and Not Just in Group Classes) | Ep. 17

Yoga for Longevity: Mobility, Mindfulness, and Vibrant Health

Most people begin yoga in a class setting, motivated by community, guidance, and the energy of moving together. But at some point, every practitioner wonders what it might feel like to make the practice their own. In this episode, yoga therapist Mikah Horn explores the quiet strength of a home yoga practice and why short, consistent sessions can make such a meaningful difference in how you feel day to day.

You’ll hear how yoga was traditionally taught one-to-one, why modern research supports the benefits of home practice, and how to weave simple movement and breath into real life without adding pressure or perfectionism. This is a thoughtful reminder that your practice doesn’t need to be long or complicated, iit just needs to be yours.
