Most of us struggle with finding time to get to the gym. I know I do. Not only does the gym get crowded when I’m usually free, it also takes a degree of planning and preparation that can quickly drain my motivation to work out in the first place.

The solution? At-home workouts! Although you may think you need an entire living room or a bunch of home equipment to get a decent workout in, there are so many practices and routines you can do in a dorm room–things that won’t break the bank buying gear or upset your downstairs neighbors.

10-Minute Yoga For Self Care | Restorative Yoga | Yoga With Adriene

I’m really enjoying her 10-Minute Yoga for Self-Care routine (above) right now. It’s short and simple, and really easy to do right before bed or when I first wake up just to really stretch everything out. 

It also works great as a cool down after some more intense cardio, like some of the videos on this list. 

The best part? Sometimes her dog is in her videos with her. 

Youtube: Sarah Beth Yoga

Youtube Yoga gurus aren’t in short supply, which is great because you can find the perfect one to fit your exercise style. Another Youtube yogi I love is Sarah Beth Yoga.

Sarah Beth’s videos are designed to fit into your busy schedule with practices ranging from quick 10-minute sessions to morning detoxes to full-length power yoga classes, designed to make you sweat and tone the body.

Her videos are accompanied by relaxing music, and she keeps her instruction mainly focused on the poses themselves, leaving you plenty of space to relax your thoughts and embrace some quiet time.
