Motivation is the one thing that keeps us focused to achieve our life goals. While there are so many time wasters, it is quite challenging to stick to something that doesn’t have an official deadline or offers an immediate result. Online Yoga class is one of those. As we are following stay-at-home orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to conduct all our businesses remotely for a long time. For fitness enthusiasts, getting a regular dose of exercise in the gym or wellness center is no longer possible.
Lots of yoga coaches are offering virtual yoga classes, but due to lack of motivation, fewer people are continuing their fitness journey through Zoom yoga or YouTube yoga.
Here are some practical tips to keep your motivation levels up while streaming yoga classes online:
- Stay Consistent and Disciplined
Your home may not look like the Gym, but your health is still as important as before. Doing exercise online might seem a little implausible at first, but once you are on the mat every day it will gradually get better. A great way to be regular in your online yoga class is to schedule them into your daily routine just as you would clean your room and show up for work. Once you get used to exercising every day, it will be harder for you to miss it.
- Find a Fitness Partner
Although there will be a few other people doing the live online yoga class with you, it is always better to have a partner. Find someone who is also a fitness enthusiast, so that you can keep each other accountable and motivated in your online yoga class in these quarantine days. You can also include your family member in it so that your journey becomes more exciting, and your children and family members also get used to a healthy lifestyle.
- Allow yourself some flexibility
As the classes are now online, videos and recordings will still be available after the class. If getting on the mat every day at a certain time, in a certain place gets too boring, allow yourself to have a break. Watching the recorded zoom yoga, you can perform the exercise at any other time of the day.
Moreover, regular yoga practice boosts the immune system and helps us fight the COVID-19 infection. So whenever you feel like giving up, think about the health risk these days and kickstart your wellness journey from home.
