Tips for yoga

Morning is the best time for practicing Yoga as the mind is calm and fresh and the body movements can be performed with considerable ease. Choose a calm, quiet, ventilated, dust free, moisture free and distraction free place for doing yoga. Before starting Yoga, you must clear your bowels and bladder; clean your nostrils and throat of all mucus. It is also advised to drink a glass of lukewarm water and start yoga after waiting for a few minutes.  

To get benefits of yoga, you need to have the urge and confidence in yourself. You must begin with easy poses and as you become comfortable, you can advance to the tough ones in a methodical and systematic way.

Take short breaks in between if a particular step or exercise proves tiring. Supplement the yoga with a balanced diet you should eat after an interval of 4 hours. The quantity of food should be such that it satisfies your appetite. Over eating and fasting should be avoided. At the same time you must try to avoid stale food.  

Wear loose and comfortable cloths for doing yoga. While performing Yoga, your breathing should be long and deep.

You must remember to keep your mouth close and inhale and exhale only through the nose. Yoga must energize and not cause weariness and depression.
