The best time of day to practice yoga varies from person to person, but several time periods are widely considered appropriate. After waking up in the morning, the air is fresh and the body is relatively flexible. Practicing yoga at this time can help awaken the body, increase energy levels, and improve mental state throughout the day. Additionally, morning yoga can aid in cleansing the digestive system and detoxifying the body. For office workers, practicing yoga before work can reduce stress and improve work efficiency. If time permits, the evening or nighttime can also be good choices, as the mind and body are more relaxed. Yoga during this period can relieve tension, promote relaxation, and improve sleep quality. However, it is important to avoid overly strenuous movements during evening practices to prevent disruption of sleep.
