Regular yoga practise is regarded as a healthy lifestyle habit for both the body and the mind. However, doing yoga in the morning can be especially beneficial. Begin your day with yoga and see what a difference it can make in your life.

Expert say that’s why doing yoga in the morning is the best gift you can give your health.

 

5 Benefits of practising yoga in the morning:

It recycles our first breath

The first breath of the day is the most potent, full of hidden potential to create, live, and enjoy throughout the day. Our senses have yet to awaken, and in that first breath, the point between dreaming and waking, we begin to co-create with the universe.

So, if you wake up thinking, “I have a hectic day, “or “I am not feeling well today,” just close your eyes, turn over, take a deep breath, and wake up again. The waking hours influence how our day will unfold, with consciousness ready to unfold. Use the first hour of your day to channel these energies so that the remaining hours of your day are meaningfully productive.

 

Practicing yoga warms up and kick-starts the body

When we wake up, our bodies are cooler and more relaxed. When we practise yoga, the body is heated to purify and transforms into the energy power centre. The mind is activated to initiate inner wisdom and unleash the power of mental fortitude and divine recognition. This is the key to using the three components of the body, mind, and intellect as the radiant source throughout the day.

It directs our vibration

Even when we are sleeping, our cells are still vibrating at a lower frequency. As soon as we awaken, our cells begin to gradually increase their vibrations and frequency. If we do not channel these vibrations through activities such as yoga, they can be dispersed through our thoughts. This causes us to feel stretched in various directions.

It helps us regain control over our minds

The morning hours are thought to be a highly receptive time for the mind because communication channels between the body and the intellect are relatively open. This is only possible if we resist the immediate pull toward external stimuli when we wake up. This occurs before our brains command our consciousness and allow our bodies to run on autopilot.

Synchronizes our body clock with the rhythm of the Sun

When our cells are exposed to morning light, it kick-starts the functions of our bodies. When first exposed to light after being in darkness, the brain suppresses melatonin production, stimulating the physical system that controls bodily functions.

A morning yoga session has a significant impact on our body’s rhythm and the production of melatonin in the brain. As a result, the various stretches of Surya Namaskar assist us in connecting with the Sun, the source of light and life.
