Nowadays, many office workers like to choose yoga as a form of exercise. Indeed, yoga can improve people's body and mind and has a good effect on body shaping. However, practicing yoga is not something that can be achieved overnight. If you want to effectively improve your body both internally and externally through yoga, it will take time.

At this time, you are most likely to deeply experience the connection and coordination between body, mind and spirit, as well as the charm of yoga as an "art of body, mind and spirit". With day-to-day accumulation, you will soon feel your own progress. This regular practice can free you from the chaotic and disorderly life and help you develop good living habits of keeping to a regular schedule.

You can also practice in the evening or at other times, but make sure you practice on an empty stomach or after completely digesting the food. Generally, it is three to four hours after a meal, and you can practice half an hour after drinking liquid food or beverages.

Practicing breathing and meditation exercises when you wake up in the morning and before going to bed at night will bring you refreshment and a restful and relaxing sleep. If possible, it is best to practice at the same time every day.

Of course, in addition to regular morning self-practice, you can also attend yoga classes 2-3 times a week at a yoga club according to your own time to improve your self-practice level. Infuse freshness and fulfillment into your life, so that you can achieve more balance in life and psychology. These experiences will also become the motivation for you to persist in yoga practice.

More specific practice time regulations are: practice in the morning before the sun comes out, practice at noon when the sun is overhead, practice in the evening after sunset, and practice in the early morning at 12 o'clock at night. Different contents should be practiced at different times, such as practicing more asanas in the morning, practicing more meditation at noon and in the evening, and so on. When practicing yoga, the body should remain normal and quiet. If you feel any discomfort or illness at this time, try not to practice and never exceed the capacity of your body.

For office workers who work from nine to five, it is good to make full and rational use of scattered time and break the whole into small parts, even if it is just to do one sex position. Use 10-15 minutes to practice yoga breathing and meditation when you wake up in the morning and before going to bed at night; use yoga postures to move your head, neck, and shoulders during work breaks before lunch and afternoon tea, and use tables and chairs to do some twists and stretches on the spot. Regularly attending weekend yoga classes can also help you stick to your practice time.

After the above introduction, we should understand how long it takes for yoga to be effective. Indeed, it takes some skills to achieve your ideal state through a sport. For example, the length of practice time and when is the best time to practice are all important. So it is best for everyone to set up an exercise plan according to their own situation, so it is better to be orderly.
