The Best Times To Practise Yoga

The day is divided into four parts in the yogic science. They are the Brahma Muhurta, Sunrise, Noon, and Sunset.

If you want to practice yoga as a means to elevate your spiritual being, Brahma Muhurta is the perfect time to practice. But, if you are only looking at physical well-being, sunrise time or sunset time will do.

Asanas can be practiced either in the morning or evening on an empty stomach, but make sure that you do not practice challenging asanas that will wire you up just before bedtime. However, in the morning, you can practice them all to unstiffen and energize your body.

Pranayama too, like asanas, can be practiced in the morning or evening, but make sure it is not within two to four hours after a meal. It is an ideal method to keep tension and tiredness at bay.

Whereas, you can practice meditation at any time of the day as long as you are not sleepy, intoxicated, or hyper. An awake and relaxed state of mind is an excellent opportunity to meditate. Also, wait for two hours after having a meal to meditate to avoid feeling dull and drowsy.
