When to practice?
Mornings are a good start to the day. Evenings will help release tensions of the day. Do what suits you. Regularity is the most important. At the end of a Yoga session spend 10-15 minutes in relaxation. Don’t force relaxation – allow yourself to let go. If you have a medical problem seek the approval of your doctor.
