A Successful Yoga Practice #Part-1

Put aside a specific time in your day to enjoy your Yoga practice. Dawn and dusk are considered the best times of the day to practice Yoga, as the rising and setting of the sun charge our body with special energy. However, if these times are impossible for you, find another time of the day that works best for you and practice consistently.

Practice in the morning if you want to prepare your mind and body for the day, and charge your body with positive energy. Keep in mind that in the morning or in cold weather your muscles will be stiffer, so ease carefully into the postures at first.

Practice in the evening if you want to relax after a stressful day, unwind and centre. In the evenings your body will be more flexible, so you'll be able to go deeper into postures.

Find a place where you are least likely to be disturbed. It can be your room, garden or beach - indoors or outdoors, wherever there is an even, flat surface.

If you are practicing indoors, make sure that the room is ventilated and with comfortable temperature. Air conditioned rooms are not advisable - when the environment is cold your body is stiff, and muscles stretch slowly. A clean environment and fresh air adds additional benefits to the breathing practice.

Make sure that you have enough space to allow you to move around, and extend the arms and legs freely. Turn your phone off and hang a note on your door to say that you are having time to yourself. This is YOUR time.

Never practice directly after eating. Yoga should be done on empty stomach. Therefore allow at least 1 hour after a snack and 2 - 3 hours after a heavy meal beforeyou begin your practice.

It is best to drink before or after your Yoga session, to avoid becoming dehydrated. Try to avoid drinking water during the practice, to avoid losing your concentration on Yoga postures and breathing.

However if you are practicing in the morning, have at least a glass of warm water before your practice, or a light snack (fruit or yoghurt). When you finish your practice eat a proper breakfast.

Wear comfortable, light, loose clothing, preferably made of natural fibers. Your clothes should not restrict your movements. Remove your jewelry, watch and spectacles if possible.
Yoga is practiced with bare feet.
