Yoga offers many positive benefits from young to old. Relaxation, improved flexibility, better concentration and over all sense of well being and the list is unending.
The best reason to start a home yoga practice is that you don't need much to begin:
Choose or create a quiet, uncluttered space in your home for your practice, and stock it with the essential basic yoga props — mat, strap, blocks, blanket, bolster, etc. The space doesn’t have to be large, but it should be quiet, clean, open and sacred.
Set realistic goals, starting out with small pockets of time (10-15 minutes).
Begin with basic beginner's yoga sequences and expand your practice as your skills improve.
Do not forget to respect the limits of your body and take long breaths while you are doing in the posture which will help you to relax and maintain in that posture.
Do yoga with a sense of joy which will help you to get into yogic attitude.
