Getting Comfortable: How Mirrors Enhance Your Home Yoga Studio
​
Placement is Key
​
The ideal spot for your yoga mirror is on a wall opposite your usual practice area. This allows you to see your form from multiple angles. For the best view, mount the mirror so it starts at shoulder height and extends up to 7-8 feet. Have San Mateo Glass custom cut the mirror to size.
Check Your Alignment
​
Mirrors are essential for checking your alignment in poses. You can see if your spine is straight in Downward Dog or if your front knee is over the ankle in Warrior II. Make small adjustments as needed to improve your form. The mirror doesn't lie, so use it as a tool to build your practice.
Stay Motivated
​
Seeing your progress in the mirror can keep you motivated. Notice how your flexibility and strength improve over time. Watch as poses that were once challenging become more effortless. Let your reflection inspire you to show up for your practice each day.
Add Style
​
Large mirrors can make a space seem more open and airy. They reflect natural light and create an inviting ambiance for your home yoga studio. For extra style points, consider framing the mirror or decorating the area around it with plants, artwork or string lights.
With strategic placement, mirrors enhance your home yoga practice. Use them to check your alignment, stay motivated and add stylish decor to your studio space. Install custom mirrors from San Mateo Glass for the perfect fit. Your practice and your space will thank you.

Choosing the Right Mirrors
When setting up your home yoga studio, mirrors are a must. Look for mirrors specifically designed for yoga studios or dance studios. These provide an unobstructed view and come in a range of sizes. For a typical home studio, 3 by 6 feet is a good size to go with.
