Vastu for Yoga

Yoga Vastu recommends a quiet, clean practice space with morning light, steady flooring, and an East or North-East orientation for breath and flexibility.

Creating a Yoga Space

You do not need a full studio. Just a dedicated mat zone that stays sacred and uncluttered.

  • Practice facing East or North when possible.
  • Prefer North-East or East corners of the home for the mat.
  • Avoid practicing directly under heavy beams.
  • Keep shoes, laundry, and storage out of the practice zone.
