Try to practice yoga at the same time every day, so as to form a kind of self-discipline and produce the greatest effect. So please choose a time that is neither hurried nor disturbing. The best time to practice is early morning and the first night.
In the morning, your brain is awake and alert, but your muscles may be a little stiff. Therefore, morning exercises can relax your stiff muscles and prepare your brain and body for a new day.
At night, your body is convenient and more flexible, but your brain may be very tired. Practicing at night can stretch your body well and release the pressure and tension brought by the day.
However, no matter what time of day you choose to practice yoga, your body and brain can regain energy and calm down. Experiment which time do you prefer, or which time is more suitable for your schedule or season (it may be easier to get up early in summer).
You may not need to adjust the content of sports according to the changes of seasons. For example, Sithali is designed to practice in hot weather. You may also find that you are listening to the signals from your body in a cold and friendly way, and you will soon find out which posture, practice content and time are more suitable for you. This will help you get the most benefit from practice.
Don't eat directly before practice. After eating a full meal, you should practice on an empty stomach for three to four hours, and after eating some snacks, you can start practicing on an empty stomach for one to two hours.

3. How long does it take to practice each time? Do I need to practice every day?
It is best to practice 1 hour every day. If not, you can arrange half an hour or even 10 minutes. The key is to practice every day, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.

In the practice of posture and breathing, breathing is usually through the nostrils. Inhale and exhale slowly, and pay attention to continuous improvement. In addition, exhaling is usually a little longer than inhaling.
