Yoga For Beginners Guide

When and how long to practice yoga

Just as with any form of exercise yoga should be built up slowly starting with the easier poses and building up to the harder ones gradually. There is no special time to do yoga because there are advantages to doing yoga anytime of the day, for instance doing your yoga routine first thing in the morning is an excellent way to revitalise both the mind and body ready for the day ahead.

Practicing the yogic breathing and meditation exercises last thing at night will aid in promoting restful sleep. Whatever time you choose to do yoga it is important that you do not strain yourself and always stop if you feel tired, resting in between poses is also beneficial. A session of yoga doesn’t have to be lengthy but should be done everyday even for as little as 15 minutes.
