I know you would have already yawned reading the subject or probably made a groaning sound. Here is a little push for you to get out of your bed, draw that mat and practise morning yoga and prepare your mind and body for a positive day ahead!

Given the current situation, a lot of us are spending a lot of time at home and nothing can be better than spending morning time with yourself performing some morning yoga. Do you still feel sleepy after waking up? Or are you still having low energy levels as you move out of the bed? Then you should definitely practise morning yoga. The end goal of morning yoga is to help you to have a connection with your mind and body and become more flexible. You can perform yoga at any point of time in the day but incorporating yoga in your daily morning routine can definitely help you to get out of the bed and get you moving for the day ahead. 

But the major question still remains as to why morning yoga is beneficial? 

Take it this way- When you sleep after a tough day, your muscles also relax while you sleep. Hence, when you get up and start your day with morning yoga, the stretches that you perform while doing yoga will help you to reactivate your muscles and feel energised. You can perform morning yoga for weight loss, for increased energy levels and improved brain functions.
