Many teachers and students have commented on how wonderful my “home studio” looks. “Wow, you’re so lucky that you have such a great space in your home!” The truth is… it’s all a lie! I taught out of a spare bedroom for a couple months, and now, in San Jose, I teach out of a hybrid garage/laundry room/kids playroom/exercise space. Whether you’re a teacher or a student, it can be really nice to set-up your space for home yoga classes. Doing so can be part of an almost-meditative ritual that can help you connect more richly to the yoga experience while also sending a message to those around you that you need some “you time.” The trick is to think creatively about your space and procure a series of inexpensive tools to help manage light, backgrounds, sound, distance between camera and you, and a few other key elements. This quick video shows you how I break down my “home studio” and transition it back to the “playpen” garage in about five minutes.
