How long is the best time to practice yoga a day?

When practicing yoga, people often fall into misunderstandings. For example, many people believe that practicing yoga must include some difficult movements, so that the effect of the practice will be better. This is not the case. Most yoga movements are easy to do, and such yoga movements will also have very good results. Especially for those who have poor body flexibility, do not force yourself to do difficult movements. In addition, many people do not know how long to practice yoga a day. Let's take a closer look below.

How long is the best time to practice yoga a day?

1. How many times a day should you practice yoga?

The practice plans vary according to each person's physical condition, age and purpose of practice. It is best to practice for 30 to 45 minutes a day, which is just enough to dredge the meridians, replenish oxygen, promote the flow of blood and qi, and enhance vitality. It is best to stop practicing yoga poses before you feel tired. If you have sore muscles after exercise, it is recommended that you take a hot bath and fully relax (you can also do deep relaxation or get enough sleep calmly), and then add a massage to eliminate fatigue and soreness. The correct practice is when you can practice without feeling soreness or tiredness the next day. During yoga practice, we should first avoid breathing exercises and focus on posture exercises. When you first start practicing, you only need to practice three times a week, each time for about 60 minutes. Once your body has adapted to the yoga postures, you can practice every day.

2. The best time to practice yoga

In the early morning, after brushing your teeth and getting up, you can do a morning of yoga. At this time, the sun has just risen from the earth, and the sunlight is not particularly strong. In addition, the body has accumulated a whole night, and many toxins have been excreted from the body.

There are fewer toxins remaining in the body. If you do yoga at this time, it can allow the body to slowly eliminate the toxins, which usually takes more than ten minutes, or at most thirty minutes.

You can also do yoga in the morning, but the intensity of yoga should be slightly stronger than that in the morning, because yoga in the morning is mainly to absorb fat through breathing. Doing yoga in the morning can achieve the effect of body shaping, keep the body full of strength, and can enhance the peristalsis of various aspects in the gastrointestinal tract.

If you do yoga in the afternoon, it will relieve the nap phenomenon to a certain extent. At the same time, doing yoga in the afternoon can make the body relax after working in the morning. Of course, doing yoga in the afternoon is also a correction for the deformities of joints in various parts of the body. For example, if you have cervical spondylosis, then doing yoga in the afternoon is best, as it can effectively restore the cervical spine to its original position.

3. The best age to practice yoga

Is there an age limit for practicing yoga? The answer is absolutely no. It may be more suitable for young people to practice yoga postures, but since they are young and energetic, most of them lack the motivation to practice yoga.
