How to create your own area of mindfulness..
Busy lives require restful, peaceful homes.
With yoga and meditation now playing an integral part to people's everyday lives, home practice is an essential aspect of maintaining your overall wellbeing.
For many city dwellers, a home yoga and meditation space will mean adjusting the layout of a space before practice beings; as there's certainly little available space in small urban flats or homes.
Look to professional yoga studios for design inspiration and then replicate and adapt a style, to suit your own space and needs. For those with more space, consider creating a bespoke area that's solely used for relaxation.
In either scenario, ensure you've created adequate storage solutions, so you can simply grab your matt and begin.
With additional personal touches including plants, incense holders, candles and Eastern statues, the overall wellbeing and meditative balance of an interior space is realised.
Just remember, in mindful design, less is always more.
Namaste.
