Yoga is best practiced first thing in the morning. For example, Brahma Muhurta, which occurs at 3:40 a.m., is not a viable option for many of us. As a result, experts believe that dawn timing is perfect and practicable. Make yoga a regular morning practice by beginning your day with coffee or tea and ending it with yoga. Brahma Muhurta is recommended because our body clocks are naturally aligned with solar cycles. So, when the sun rises early in the morning, your body clock gets adjusted to this new time zone. This means you will feel more energized and active during the day compared to people who don't shift their body clocks early in the morning. Of course, you can also practice yoga at any other time if you have the willpower! However, if you aren't able to practice yoga at dawn, then practicing later in the day when your body clock is in sync with solar noon (3 p.m.) is still beneficial. But, you might experience some side effects like mild insomnia due to shifting your body clock back into night mode after spending so much time during the day. In addition, yoga is effective when done late at night because it allows your body to rest while still benefiting from its relaxation response. This is why yogis recommend practicing twice a week; once in the morning and once at night. The earlier you start the practice the easier it is to fit it into your busy schedule!
