Finding the motivation to practice yoga on a daily basis can be tough, especially when you’re feeling tired, or just don’t feel like doing it. But if you can find a way to make it a habit, it will become much easier over time.
Yoga doesn’t take much time out of your day, and it can improve both your physical and mental health. If you want to feel stronger and less stressed every day, here are some tips for how to make that happen.
Find the Main Benefits of Doing Yoga
Knowing why you are doing yoga is an important component of appreciating the advantages of practicing it. This is true for any healthy lifestyle change you’re attempting to make, whether it’s a new habit or an existing one. Instead of just starting by telling yourself that you need to do yoga on a daily basis, consider the primary advantages and your own motivation for wanting to convert it into a routine practice.
Everyone has their own unique reasons for why they need to do yoga, and knowing those will help you sustain your motivation. It might be for physical or mental health, better flexibility and strength, weight loss, or just getting into a better place emotionally.
Once you’ve identified the main benefits, outline what your daily yoga practice will look like. This can be as simple as setting a certain time of day to do it every day, or figuring out which type of exercises you want to focus on that day.
Create your own Yoga-Friendly Environment
Whether that means finding a quiet corner in your house to set up a yoga station, or getting together with other people who also want to start their day off right, having the environment conducive to practicing every day is an important part of sustaining motivation.
Create this kind of mindset: By doing yoga every day, I will become better and better at it over time. You can do this in a number of ways, like:
- Scheduling in your day (e.g., Wednesday and Saturday mornings at 8am)
- Setting an alarm on your phone to go off every morning at the same time so you remember to start rolling out your yoga mat/getting into position
- Setting aside space at home to create a “yoga spot” that you always go to whenever you do yoga
- Having everything set out before you get started practicing so there are no distractions or excuses for why it will be hard to do
- Motivate yourself by rewarding yourself with something after doing your daily practice.
By doing this, you are already forming a positive association with your daily yoga practice. You can also reward yourself in other ways, like eating healthier snacks after you finish whatever it is that you’re practicing for.

Turn it into a Daily Routine
One of the most effective methods to encourage yourself to practice yoga on a daily basis is to make it a habit. This should be something you automatically do at a particular time of day, every day. You may think about taking a shower or brushing your teeth as things that you’ve been doing for a long time, and it feels like you’re going to do them automatically under any circumstances.
This will take weeks, but you can start by conceiving of it as something that you are always going to do on a set schedule. An easy way to form this habit is to designate a certain time of day every day for yoga on your calendar or planner, and make sure that’s when you’re doing it before anything else. This can be a very effective way of making sure that you’re ready to do your practice every day.
For example, let’s say you choose 7 AM as the time when you are going to start your yoga practice. It doesn’t matter how long it takes or what else is on your list for that day. You are going to move everything else aside and start your yoga practice at 7 AM. And you’re going to do it every day no matter what—even if you find that this is the time when other people in your family are clamoring for your attention and distracting you from practicing yoga.
Increase Your Motivation to Practice Yoga Every Day
If doing yoga every day seems too daunting of a task, try these simple hacks to build your motivation to make it a habit.
- Don’t think about how you need to practice yoga every day for the rest of your life—focus on doing it today .
- Set a timer if that helps motivate you to get started—and then build from there by adding 5 – 10 minutes at a time each day.
- Turn your session into a special ritual by doing the same thing from the moment you wake up every day.
- Know that it’s going to be hard at first, but remind yourself that it gets easier as time goes on and you get better at it.
- Reward yourself with a healthy snack or beverage after finishing your session.
- Create an accountability group with other yogis who want to build a daily yoga practice.
By adding yoga to your routine, it becomes something you just do every day without even really thinking about it. This is the magic of turning something into a daily routine that you practice without fail, and it will happen if you plan for it to do so.
Conclusion
Daily yoga practice can be a great way to improve your overall health, both physically and mentally. It can be challenging to get started on a daily routine, but using some of the tips we’ve provided should help you form the habit and stick to it.
Remember that it’s important to reward yourself after completing your practice each day, whether that means eating healthier foods or taking time for yourself to relax and rejuvenate.
Finally, make sure you set aside enough time each day so you don’t feel rushed and stressed when trying to fit in your yoga session. With a little bit of organization and effort, starting and sticking with a daily yoga routine is definitely achievable!
