Find a space in your home to convert to a yoga room, perhaps a spare bedroom or home office. If an entire room isn't available, consider transforming a corner of a room.

Equip the room with a stereo system to play soothing music. Consider adding a TV and DVD player to view yoga videos. A small portable DVD player works well when placed at the end of your mat.

Install a dimmer switch to the lights. Alternately, use low-wattage or three-way bulbs in your lamps.

Decorate the room with calming items like sculptures, artwork, shoji screens and candles. Print out inspirational quotes or order them in vinyl lettering to decorate your walls.

Install a large mirror on one wall of the room. If you are able to see how your body moves, you will be able to work towards perfecting your yoga poses.

Leave enough wall space to practice poses that require wall support, such as a headstand.

Arrange your yoga mat to face a window. If the scenery outside your window is not calming, consider installing a frosted or stained glass film that lets in natural light.

Scent the room with incense, candles, essential oils or fresh flowers.

Fill the room with yoga essentials: a yoga mat, ball, blocks, strap, blankets and pillows. Build a library of yoga DVDs, CDs and books to inspire you.
